A patient with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome remained in clinical and biochemical remission six years after pituitary irradiation and while on bromocriptine therapy. When bromocriptine was discontinued urinary free cortisol values became elevated, and were not suppressed by dexamethasone. After reintroduction of the drug, remission was again obtained. It is concluded that bromocriptine is responsible for continuing longterm remission in this case. The possible use of bromocriptine as an adjunctive therapy in ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome is discussed.
一名促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)依赖型库欣综合征患者在垂体放疗并接受溴隐亭治疗后六年,仍处于临床和生化缓解状态。停用溴隐亭后,尿游离皮质醇值升高,且地塞米松不能抑制其升高。重新使用该药物后,再次获得缓解。得出的结论是,在这种情况下,溴隐亭是导致长期持续缓解的原因。文中讨论了溴隐亭作为ACTH依赖型库欣综合征辅助治疗药物的可能用途。
