  • Unilateral Galactorrhea Associated with Low-Dose Escitalopram
    Case Report Unilateral Galactorrhea Associated with Low-dose Escitalopram P. Bangalore Ravi, K. G. Guruprasad1, Chittaranjan Andrade2 ABSTRACT Galactorrhea is a rare adverse effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor treatment. We report a 27-year-old woman who developed unilateral breast engorgement with galactorrhea 18 days after initiation of escitalopram (10 mg/day). The symptom remitted 7 days after withdrawal of escitalopram and did not subsequently recur during maintenance therapy with agomelatine (25 mg/day). Key words: Agomelatine, escitalopram, galactorrhea, prolactin, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, unilateral breast engorgement INTRODUCTION about the future, low self-confidence, diminished interest in daily activities, and diminished interest in social life, Galactorrhea refers to the discharge of milk from the poor appetite, and poor sleep. These symptoms were breast, unassociated with recent childbirth or nursing. exacerbated by domestic stress and absence of social Galactorrhea occurs when serum prolactin levels are support. A diagnosis of moderate depression with raised for reasons ranging from pituitary tumors to drug somatic symptoms was made, and she was started on treatments. A number of drugs, including psychotropic escitalopram 5 mg/day along with clonazepam 0.75 mg/day. She was instructed to increase the dose of drugs, cause hyperprolactinemia, some doing so consistently escitalopram to 10 mg/day after 4 days and taper and (e.g., certain antipsychotics), and some, rarely (e.g., certain withdraw the clonazepam at the rate of 0.25 mg/week. antidepressants).[1,2] We herein report an unusual case of galactorrhea resulting from escitalopram use. After about 18 days of treatment, she developed painless engorgement of her left breast associated with CASE REPORT galactorrhea.

  • Breast Concerns
    Section 12.0: Preventive Health Services for Women Clinical Protocol Manual 12.2 BREAST CONCERNS TITLE DESCRIPTION DEFINITION: Breast concerns in women of all ages are often the source of significant fear and anxiety. These concerns can take the form of palpable masses or changes in breast contours, skin or nipple changes, congenital malformation, nipple discharge, or breast pain (cyclical and non-cyclical). 1. Palpable breast masses may represent cysts, fibroadenomas or cancer. a. Cysts are fluid-filled masses that can be found in women of all ages, and frequently develop due to hormonal fluctuation. They often change in relation to the menstrual cycle. b. Fibroadenomas are benign sold tumors that are caused by abnormal growth of the fibrous and ductal tissue of the breast. More common in adolescence or early twenties but can occur at any age. A fibroadenoma may grow progressively, remain the same, or regress. c. Masses that are due to cancer are generally distinct solid masses. They may also be merely thickened areas of the breast or exaggerated lumpiness or nodularity. It is impossible to diagnose the etiology of a breast mass based on physical exam alone. Failure to diagnose breast cancer in a timely manner is the most common reason for malpractice litigation in the U.S. Skin or nipple changes may be visible signs of an underlying breast cancer. These are danger signs and require MD referral. 2. Non-spontaneous or physiological discharge is fluid that may be expressed from the breast and is not unusual in healthy women. 3. Galactorrhea is a spontaneous, multiple duct, milky discharge most commonly found in non-lactating women during childbearing years.

    Karimi H et al. Injury & Violence 117 J Inj Violence Res. 2013 Jun; 5(2): 117-119. doi: 10.5249/ jivr.v5i2.314 Case Report Burns, hypertrophic scar and galactorrhea Hamid Karimi a , Samad Nourizad a ,* , Mahnoush Momeni a, Hosein Rahbar a, Mazdak Momeni b, Khosro Farhadi c a Faculty of Medicine, Tehran University of Medical Sciences,Tehran, Iran. b Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. c Department of Anesthesiology, Imam Reza Hospital, Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, Kermanshah, Iran. Abstract: An 18-year old woman was admitted to Motahari Burn Center suffering from 30% burns. KEY WORDS Treatment modalities were carried out for the patient and she was discharged after 20 days. Three to four months later she developed hypertrophic scar on her chest and upper limbs. At the same time she developed galactorrhea in both breasts and had a disturbed menstrual cycle four Burns months post-burn. On investigation, we found hyperprolactinemia and no other reasons for the Hypertrophic scar high level of prolactin were detected. Galactorrhea She received treatment for both the hypertrophic scar and the severe itching she was experiencing. After seven months, her prolactin level had decreased but had not returned to the normal level. It seems that refractory hypertrophic scar is related to the high level of prolactin in burns patients.

Nipple discharge is the release of fluid from the nipple Based on the characteristics of presentation Nipple Discharge is categorized as: • Physiologic nipple discharge • Normal milk production (lactation) • Pathologic nipple discharge 27-Jun-20 2 • Nipple discharge is the one of the most commonly encountered breast complaints • 5-10% percent of women referred because of symptoms of a breast disorder have nipple discharge • Nipple discharge is the third most common presenting symptom to breast clinics (behind lump/lumpiness and breast pain) • Most nipple discharge is of benign origin 27-Jun-20 3 • Less than 5% of women with breast cancer have nipple discharge, and most of these women have other symptoms, such as a lump or newly inverted nipple, as well as the nipple discharge • Mammography and ultrasound have a low sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing the cause of nipple discharge • Nipple smear cytology has a low sensitivity and positive predictive value • The risk of an underlying malignancy is increased if the nipple discharge is spontaneous and single duct 27-Jun-20 4 Physiological Nipple Discharge • Fluid can be obtained from the nipples of 50–80% of asymptomatic women when massage/squeezing used. • This discharge of fluid from a normal breast is referred to as 'physiological discharge' • It is usually yellow, milky, or green in appearance; does not occur spontaneously;

It is seen in almost 70% of neurocritically ill patients. Fever of central origin was first described in the journal Brain by Erickson in 1939. A significant number of patients develop this fever due to a noninfectious cause, but are often treated as having an infectious fever. Unjustified use of antibi- otics adds to the increased cost of treatment and the emergence of resistant strains, contributing to additional morbidity. Since fever has a detrimental impact on the recovery of the acutely injured brain and contributes to an increased stay in the neurointensive care unit (NICU), timely and accurate diagnosis of the cause of fever in the NICU is imperative. Here, we try to understand the underlying mechanism, risk factors, clinical characteristics, diagnosis and management options of the central fever.
