Nelson's syndrome nowadays a rare entity results from an adrenocorticotropin (ACTH)-secreting pituitary adenoma in patients with refractory Cushing's disease after a therapeutic bilateral adrenal gland removal. We report a case of 25 year old female with cushing's disease who was initially managed with medical treatment, but in view of severe persistent hyper cortisol state was subjected to bilateral adrenalectomy following which she developed Nelson's syndrome after a gap of six years, which was difficult to diagnose because of limited investigations available. Patient was managed with stereotactic radiosurgery (gamma knife surgery).
尼尔森综合征如今是一种罕见病症,它由难治性库欣病患者在接受双侧肾上腺治疗性切除术后,垂体分泌促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)的腺瘤引发。我们报告一例25岁患有库欣病的女性病例,该患者最初接受药物治疗,但鉴于严重且持续的高皮质醇状态,接受了双侧肾上腺切除术,术后六年出现尼尔森综合征,由于可用的检查有限,该病难以诊断。患者接受了立体定向放射外科治疗(伽玛刀手术)。
