Zusammenfassung

Die seltene und schwerwiegende Akromegalie manifestiert sich mit charakteristischen klinischen Zeichen und Symptomen. Die Diagnose wird oft erst Jahre nach der Erstmanifestation gestellt. Ursächlich ist in mehr als 99 % der Fälle ein benigner Hypophysentumor, der Wachstumshormon (GH) sezerniert. Diagnostisch wegweisend sind erhöhte Werte des „Insulin-like growth factor 1“ (IGF-1) und fehlende GH-Suppression im oralen Glucosetoleranztest. Bildgebender Standard zum Tumornachweis ist die Magnetresonanztomographie der Sella-turcica-Region. Chirurgische, medikamentöse und strahlentherapeutische Verfahren stehen zur Auswahl.
Wichtig sind die intensive Nachsorge der Patienten, die Kontrollen zur Erkennung eines Tumorrezidivs und einer Hypophyseninsuffizienz sowie die Beurteilung verschiedener Organfunktionen und Risikokonstellationen umfasst. Die Patienten sollten in enger Kooperation von Endokrinologen, Neurochirurgen und Hausarzt sowie weiteren Fachdisziplinen betreut werden.
