FROM ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION TO BRAIN SUBEPENDYMOMA: A CASE REPORT
Endocrinopathies are relatively rare causes of erectile dysfunction. Cases of hyperprolactinemia and pituitary adenomas have been previously reported. We present a clinical case of a 27-year-old male with suspected infertility and recent symptoms of erectile dysfunction. Additional radiological and...

description | Endocrinopathies are relatively rare causes of erectile dysfunction. Cases of hyperprolactinemia and pituitary adenomas have been previously reported. We present a clinical case of a 27-year-old male with suspected infertility and recent symptoms of erectile dysfunction. Additional radiological and endocrinologic workup revealed underlying subependymoma, which was expanding in the sellar and suprasellar regions, causing pressure against the pituitary gland. The resulting endocrine disorder caused problems that were subjectively at first manifested mainly as erectile dysfunction. The case is an educative example pointing to the need of taking possible intracranial lesions in consideration when starting workup in a patient presenting with erectile dysfunction. It may be of broad clinical interest not only for endocrinologists but also for practitioners in various fields. |
