- Abstract
- "Lesions of multiple sclerosis (MS) are rarely distributed in deep gray matter. We report a case of MS with hypothalamic
lesions. A 26-year-old woman with MS developed hyperphagia, hypersomnolence, and amenorrhea. Brain MRI
revealed bilateral lesions in both hypothalamus and thalamus. Serum prolactin concentration was increased and thyroid
stimulating hormone (TSH) level was decreased. Three months after steroid pulse therapy, her symptoms were completely
resolved and prolactin concentration became normal Follow-up brain MRI demonstrated complete disappearance
of previous lesions.Key Words : Multiple Sclerosis, Hypothalamus"
