Abstract
|
|
|
In a few cases, galactorrhea, a secretion of milk or milk-like products from the breast in the absence of parturition, has been reported to occur in women with spinal cord injuries in association with amenorrhea and hyperprolactinemia. One or
more
of
the following factors might play a role in the pathogenesis of this syndrome: ①Contusion or concussion of the pituitary stalk, ② Spinal shock with elevation of CNS endorphin level, ③ Irritation of the efferent neural pathway of the thoracic
spinal
cord.
We report here one case of galactorrhea and amenorrhea in women that is developed after spinal cord injury. A review of previous case reports and relevant literature is included.
