[Hyperprolactinaemic amenorrhoea caused by retrosellar adamantinoma of basis encephali (author's transl)].
Hyperprolactinaemic amenorrhoea was diagnosed in a patient, 33 years of age. It had been caused by retrosellar adamantinoma of the basis encephali. The radiological and histological findings are reported in this paper. This rare case is likely to reaffirm the urgent need for prolactin determination in every single case of amenorrhoea for brain tumour detection.
