Postmenopausal ovarian hyperthecosis

Ovarian hyperthecosis has variable clinical importance. It can cause hyperandrogenism, particulary in premenopausal women, and may be a rare cause of androgenic alopecia in postmenopausal women. The physiological level of androgens secreted by ovarian stromal cells is greatly increased with hyperplastic or neoplastic transformation leading to possible clinical consequences. We report a case of postmenopausal ovarian hyperthecosis

Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing [SUNCT] syndrome secondary to pituitary apoplexy

Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing [SUNCT] syndrome is a rare form of pituitary headache disorder, although secondary causes, particularly due to posterior fossa abnormalities, are well-known. We report a case of SUNCT syndrome secondary to prolactinoma, with complete resolution of the SUNCT attack after trans-sphenoidal resection of the pituitary macroadenoma
