title: Radiographic abnormalities in patients with Stein-Leventhal syndrome.
abstract: Radiographic abnormalities in 254 patients with Stein-Leventhal syndrome are presented in a retrospective study of the six-year period from 1972--1977. Twenty-two (8.7%) of the patients were found to have abnormal sella turcica x-rays, eight (3.2%) patients had abnormal hysterosalpingograms and five (2.0%) patients had abnormal intravenous pyelograms. In addition, three patients with an abnormal sella turcica had serum prolactin levels greater than 45 ng/ml, which should be regarded as evidence of a pituitary adenoma. These findings suggest that serum prolactin assays and skull x-rays with polytomography should be routinely performed on patients with Stein-Leventhal syndrome.
