A case of a 25-year-old woman with amenorrhoea-galactorrhoea syndrome and microprolactinoma
is reported. The 45 XO/46 XX chromosome aberration did not cause complete ovarian
failure. The presence of a pituitary microadenoma was demonstrated by thin layer pluridirectional
x-ray tomography of the sella and the pathologically high prolactin reserve capacity
of the pituitary. After the removal of the microprolactinoma and postoperative bromocriptine
administration, regular menstrual bleeding occurred and the galactorrhoea disappeared.
Some possible explanations of peripheral endocrine gland disorders accompanied by
pituitary adenomas are discussed.
Turner's Syndrome - Pituitary Adenoma - Prolactin - Bromocriptine
