[Impotentia coeundi in prolactinoma].
We report on a 48-year-old patient who had increasingly suffered from impotence since 20 years. Since three years, aspermatism had been additionally noted. Androgenic dysfunction was attributed to low plasma testosterone and high prolactin levels. As the cause, we diagnosed prolactinome growing downward the pituitary sella. Our therapy comprised neurosurgery as well as combined oral administration of bromocriptin.
