Lymphocytic hypophysitis has reported in 22 cases, all but one in women. More than 80% of the cases in women occurred during pregnancy or in the postpartum period. We describe a girl with partial hypopituitarism secondary to lymphocytic hypophysitis who, five years after the diagnosis, successfully delivered a healthy infant at term. Of the previously reported cases, most patients remain amenorrheic after the diagnosis. From the present case report and review of the literature, it would appear that a diagnosis of lymphocytic hypophysitis does not necessarily preclude the patient's ability to conceive and successfully carry the pregnancy. Pituitary hormone deficiency in this disease, therefore, does not always include the gonadotropins.
淋巴细胞性垂体炎已报道22例，除1例男性外其余均为女性。女性患者中超过80%的病例发生在孕期或产后。我们描述了一名继发于淋巴细胞性垂体炎的部分垂体功能减退的女孩，诊断5年后足月成功分娩一名健康婴儿。在既往报道的病例中，大多数患者诊断后仍闭经。从本病例报告及文献复习来看，淋巴细胞性垂体炎的诊断不一定会排除患者受孕及成功妊娠的能力。因此，该疾病中的垂体激素缺乏并不总是包括促性腺激素。
