[Ischemic bone necrosis in Itsenko-Cushing disease]
Abstract:
X-ray alterations of the type ischemic osseous necrosis were established in three patients (two females and one male) with Icenko-Cushing disease. In the first case--the haed of femur was unilaterally affected: in the second--bilateral lesions with the same localization; and in the third--a combination of changes in the head of femur and the heads of some metatarsal bones. In all patients, secondary ostheoarthrosis alterations were also observed. The tomographic study enabled the visualization of details, characterizing the stage of the progress of the process. The similarity in the roentgenological images, with a substrate of ischemic osseous necrosis in case of exogenous and endogenous hypercortisolism, provide grounds to admit a similarity in the pathogenesis of those states.

Morphological Manifestations of Necrosis
Necrotic cells show different types of morphological appearance depending on the type of tissue and infection. In coagulative necrosis, cells become anucleated and die, but their...

Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
