Involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) in patients with histiocytosis-X manifesting secondary hormonal change is well known clinically. Proof of involvement of the most common CNS focus, the hypothalamus, is also seen in autopsy cases on occasion. However, premortem radiographic evidence of hypothalamic infiltration is unusual. Presented is a case report and a brief literature review of such cases.
组织细胞增多症-X患者出现继发性激素变化时中枢神经系统(CNS)受累在临床上已为人熟知。最常见的中枢神经系统病灶即下丘脑受累的证据在尸检病例中偶尔也可见到。然而,下丘脑浸润的生前影像学证据并不常见。本文报告了一例此类病例,并对相关病例进行简要文献复习。
