The patient also presented with the slow development of visual deficit. In January 2012, the patient presented with polyuria and polydipsia suggestive of central diabetes insipidus. Endocrine studies showed no clinically significant results.展开更多

Case presentation: A 56-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department in our hospital. He was diagnosed with hemophilia A and subdural hematoma. We administered an infusion of factor VⅢ to decrease the risk of bleeding and improve the prognosis. Factor VⅢ infusion is the most important factor in treating hemophilia A patients. Conclusion: We recommend carefully checking coagulation function and the medical history once these patients are admitted, especially in the emergency department.展开更多

Magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） showed an intrasellar lesion with homogeneous hyperintense on T 1-weighted images and T2-weighted images and inhomogeneous contrast enhancement by the gadolinium administration [Figure l a and lb]. Rathke＇s cleft cyst was initially diagnosed preoperatively, and the tumor was totally resected by transsphenoidal surgery. Histopathology revealed that granulomatous tissue consisted of cholesterol clefts, lymphoplasmacellular infiltrates, marked hemosiderin deposits, and multinucleated foreign body giant cells around cholesterol clefts [Figure 1 e- 1 g].展开更多

The patient underwent a brain magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） with contrast in a local healthy facility, revealing that there was an irregular pituitary lesion measuring 1.1 cm× 1.4 cm× 2.2 cm. Apparently, the diagnosis of central diabetes insipidus （DI） was made, but the pituitary lesion remained to be elucidated. The patient received desmopressin acetate tablets （1.2 mg, q.n.） to ameliorate polydipsia （5000 ml/24 h） and polyuria （4000 ml/24 h）.展开更多
