Abstract

A sixty eight year old woman was admitted to the hospital because of fatigue, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. In the physical examination she was seen to have an apathic appearence with dry skin. Blood pressure was 90/60 mmHg. The stool test demonstrated erythrocytes and leukocytes. The second day fever rise to 38.50°C and hypotension developed. Due to tendency towards sepsis, broad spectrum antibiotics were applied, but cooperation with the patient was lost the next day. Since lower levels of serum thyroid hormones and cortisol with gonadotropines were seen, replacement therapy with methylpred-nisolon was initiated immediately. Cranial magnetic resonance (MRG) revealed empty sella. These displaying clinical picture of adrenocortical insufficiency was the patient managed successfully.

Özet

Altmışsekiz yaşında bir kadın iki aydır olan yorgunluk, bulantı, kusma ve ishal nedeniyle hastaneye kabul edildi. Fizik muayenede apatik görünümü ve kuru cildi vardı. Kan basıncı 90/60 mmHg saptandı. Dışkı incelemesinde eritrosit ve lökositler görüldü. Yatışının ikinci gününde ateş 38.50°C'ye yükseldi ve hipotansiyon gelişti. Sepsis eğilimi nedeniyle geniş spektrumlu antibiyotik tedavisine başlandı, ancak ertesi gün hastayla iletişim kurulamadı. Serum kortizol, ACTH ve gonadotropin düzeylerinin düşük gelmesi nedeniyle derhal metilprednizolon ile yerine koyma tedavisi başlatıldı. Kısa sürede klinik cevap alındı. Yapılan kranial magnetik rezonans (MRG) tetkiki empty sellayı gösteriyordu. Böylece adrenokortikal yetersizlik kliniği gösteren hastaya tanı konmuş oldu ve başarı ile tedavi edildi.
