‘Houdini’s Pituitary:’ A case report of regression of pituitary mass to Empty Sella in a 58-year-old man with autoimmune Hypophysitis / Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies

@#A 58-year-old male presented with persistent severe headache, lethargy, decline libido and no neurological deficits. Besides quadruple anterior pituitary hormonal deficiencies, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated an enlarged ring-enhanced non-homogenous pituitary. Following hormonal replacement, these symptoms improved but empty sella evolved. The challenges of diagnosis and management were discussed.

Communicating Hydrocephalus in a case of long-term primary Hyperparathyroidism / Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies

@#We present the rare case of a 47-year-old woman with protracted primary hyperparathyroidism complicated by communicating hydrocephalus and cerebellar tonsillar herniation secondary to calvarial thickening. The parathyroidglands remained elusive, despite the use of advanced preoperative imaging modalities and three neck explorations.The serum calcium was optimally controlled with cinacalcet and alfacalcidol. Awareness of this rare complication is essential for early diagnosis and prompt intervention to prevent fatal posterior brain herniation
