Abstract AR
في عام ۲۰۰۷ تقدمت امرأة عمرها ٦١ عاماً بأعراض مطابقة لمرض كوشينغ.
خضعت المريضة لعدة تحاليل و تم تشخيصها بمرض كوشينغ سببه ورم حميد صغير في الغدة النخامية و من ثم تم استئصال الورم.
لم تظهر المريضة تحسناً واضحا بعد استئصال الورم في وظائفها المعرفية مما جعلنا نتساءل عن دور ارتفاع هرمون الكورتيزول المرضي في المسبب للاختلال المزمن للوظائف المعرفية و مدى احتمالية علاج هذا الاختلال.
Abstract EN
In 2007, a 61-year old woman presented with clinical features of Cushing’s Disease Syndrome.
She underwent a diagnostic work up and was diagnosed with adrenocorticotropic hormone-producing pituitary adenoma, which was subsequently removed.
Following surgery, the patient showed little recovery from her presenting neurocognitive symptoms, raising the question as to the effect of long term steroids on cognition, mood and behavior, and the potential for reversal of these effects.
