1954年Bauer1)によつて視床下部障害に関する臨床病理学的検討が報告され,その中で視床下部障害が特異な内分泌代謝環境を構成していること,臨床症状もまた多彩であることなどを報告したが,当時の記載は主として身体所見の記載にとどまり,内分泌代謝学的検索は極度に乏しく,新らしい神経内分泌学的手段を行使しての検討はその後も少ない。
また視床下部以外の中枢神経系の障害においても内分泌代謝障害の可能性は高いが,この点についても系統的な観察は決して多くない。臨床的実験的成績から内分泌,特に下垂体機能の中枢神経系による支配機序が明らかにされつつあるが,このような観点からも神経内分泌学的検索の施行された中枢神経障害症例の集積は意味のあることと考えられる。
Choroidplexus papilloma is a rare brain tumor. This case is a typical plexus papilloma of 14 years old boy originated from the right ventricle and destroied the right hippocampus. Metastatic lesion was found in hypothalamus which was destroied completely.
About the end of 9 years old bulimia and obesity appeared, thereafter hyperthermia, psychic dister-bances, hypogonadism, somnolence, anorexia, visualdisturbances and disturbances of sphincteric control appered successively, and satisfied 10 symptoms out of 13 which Bauer showed as hypothalamic-linked synptoms. It is not clear that these various symptoms are due to diffuse destruction of hippocampus. It is necessary to summarise and analyse the symptoms accompanied with limbic-system lesions.
In this case plasma cortisol and growth hormone response to hypoglycemia were impaired but the response to SU 4885 was preserved. This suggests the difference of stimulating points between hy-poglycemia and SU 4885 and showed that anterior pituitary hormones are regulated by central nervous system and the response to stimulations are different.That is, hypoglycemia has its effecting point in central nervous system whereas the decrese of plasma cortisol in pituitary gland.
Hypernatremia is due to the lesion of thirst center located in hypothalamus and to the insufficiency of ADH secretion.
By hormone replacement therapy polyuria ap-pered. This is bacause of coexisting anterior pitui-tary and neurohypophyseal insufficiency.
We disscussed about neuroendocrine symptoms with special reference to lesions of limbic systems including hippocampus and the mechanisms of pitui-tary control by central nervous systems.
