On examination, impaired consciousness (Glasgow Coma Scale: 14) and fever were observed. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the head revealed swelling from the sella turcica to the suprasellar region. Her morning serum cortisol level was low (4.4\u00a0\u03bcg\/dL) and adrenocorticotropic hormone level was normal (21.6\u00a0pg\/mL). Central hypothyroidism was also suspected (thyroid stimulating hormone, 0.46 \u03bcIU\/mL; free triiodothyronine, 1.86\u00a0pg\/mL; free thyroxine, 0.48\u00a0ng\/dL). Secondary adrenocortical insufficiency, growth hormone deficiency, delayed gonadotropin response, and elevated prolactin levels were also observed. After administration of prednisolone and levothyroxine, her consciousness recovered. On the 7th day of admission, the patient developed polyuria, and arginine vasopressin deficiency was diagnosed using a hypertonic saline test. On the 15th day, the posterior pituitary gland showed a loss of high signal intensity and the polyuria resolved spontaneously. On the 134th day, the corticotropin-releasing hormone loading test showed a normal response; however, the thyrotropin-releasing hormone stimulation test showed a low response. The patient\u2019s disease course was stable with continued thyroid and adrenal corticosteroid supplementation.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Herein, we report a rare case of anterior hypopituitarism and arginine vasopressin deficiency secondary to hypophysitis following COVID-19 vaccination.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12902-024-01582-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,20]],"date-time":"2024-05-20T05:01:48Z","timestamp":1716181308000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Hypopituitarism with secondary adrenocortical insufficiency and arginine vasopressin deficiency due to hypophysitis after COVID-19 vaccination: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"So","family":"Watanabe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoshiaki","family":"Tamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kazuhito","family":"Oba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saori","family":"Kitayama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Motoya","family":"Sato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Remi","family":"Kodera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenji","family":"Toyoshima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuko","family":"Chiba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Atsushi","family":"Araki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"1582_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2043","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2021.19499","volume":"326","author":"MW Tenforde","year":"2021","unstructured":"Tenforde MW, Self WH, Adams K, Gaglani M, Ginde AA, McNeal T, et al.
