Hypothalamic Lesion

Hypothalamic lesion from the point of view of neurologists and neurosurgeons The hypothalamus is the underlying structure of the mesencephalon, one of the most important control centers of the brain. It is located beneath the thalamus, wrapped around the ventral part of the third ventricle, and is on the vertical glands and is directly regulated (Gunderson, 1996). The hypothalamic neurosecretory neurons secrete and release hormones that are transported to the anterior pituitary where they function via the hypothalamic-pituitary portal vein.

Evaluation of height and height helps to distinguish between extrinsic obesity and obesity secondary to genetic or endocrine abnormalities including hypothalamus or pituitary lesions. Most obese children are very old because extrinsic obesity leads to straight height. In contrast, most of the endocrine and genetic causes of obesity are associated with short stature (5, 66). Children with Prader-Willi syndrome lack genetic potential or often have no surge of pubertal growth

Congenital or acquired hypothalamic abnormalities are associated with severe obesity in children and adolescents (1,17). Diseases of the hypothalamus due to invasive disease, tumor or its sequelae sequelae often result in the development of obesity syndrome, which is characterized by rapid and difficulty to withstand weight with severe overeating. Weight gain is brought about by the destruction of normal homeostasis of the hypothalamic center responsible for control of satiety and hunger, adjustment of energy balance, excessive appetite, autonomic dysfunction, decreased energy expenditure, hyperinsulinemia It leads to disease (18).

Penile erection is a neurovascular event in which the hypothalamic and marginal pathways play an important role in the integration and control of reproductive and sexual functions. The medial preopening field, paraventricular nucleus and anterior hypothalamic area regulate the erection and coordinate events of the autonomic nervous system associated with sexual response. Nervous system diseases include disorders of the central nervous system such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke and brain trauma, and often cause erectile dysfunction by decreasing sexual desire or preventing erection. Peripheral neuropathy disorders such as spinal cord injuries and pelvic injuries can also cause erectile dysfunction, but the extent of erectile function is highly dependent on the nature, location, and extent of the lesion.
