Patty had an MRI done and they found a microadenomia (sp?) in her pituitary.

That's just a long word for a specific small benign tumor which they think

she was born with. At first that scared me but it's no big deal. Because of the

microadenomia she has a high level of prolactin (hormonal stuff) and was on

put on hormone replacement for that.

Best of luck.

Just catching up on old email and had experience with the MRI pituitary

problem. s opthamologist requested the MRI to research the colobomas.

This is when we learned that the back of the pituitary gland did not migrate

properly in utero so this would explain why he had a micropenis. The

endrocronologist explained that there could be several things impacted by

this finding or nothing another " wait and see " diagnosis. Anyway, she

instructed us to keep good track of his growth, especially at 9 mos. as this

will be the first " growth spurt period " . She normally sees patients for the

symptom and then they do the MRI to find the explaination but in s case

it was backward so she can only tell us what could possiby happen to him.

Hope that makes sense.

Thank you for your response to the MRI. We just had that test ordered

for my son Mark but were unable to get it because he can not be still for

that amount of time We have a follow up appointment on Mon with the

endocrine Dr. He has micropenis and now we find is also deficient in the growth

hormone, male hormone, and Vit D.
