Imaging of pediatric pituitary abnormalities

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America
Bradley N Delman

Abstract

Evaluation of the sella and surrounding structures in pediatric endocrinopathies is best performed with high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging. Adequate assessment relies not only on determining the size and shape of the gland but also on confirming normal signal characteristics and homogeneous parenchymal enhancement. Surrounding structures, including the hypothalamus-infundibulum-stalk and the skull base and midline structures about the cerebral hemispheres, warrant careful attention to identify any associated abnormalities. Tumors, whether they arise in the gland or affect gland function through mass effect, are usually well resolved on today's scanners and imaging provides accurate characterization of these lesions.

Blood Brain Barrier

The blood brain barrier is a border that separates blood from cerebrospinal fluid. Discover the latest search on this highly selective semipermeable membrane here.

Blood Brain Barrier Regulation in Health & Disease

The blood brain barrier is essential in regulating the movement of molecules and substances in and out of the brain. Disruption to the blood brain barrier and changes in permeability allow pathogens and inflammatory molecules to cross the barrier and may play a part in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Here is the latest research in this field.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.

Aphasia

Aphasia affects the ability to process language, including formulation and comprehension of language and speech, as well as the ability to read or write. Here is the latest research on aphasia.
