    This study created a dog model for suprasellar lesions, revealing initial reversible hypothalamic hypothyroidism that progresses to irreversible thyroid dysfunction due to blood-brain barrier disruption.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroendocrinology
    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Experimental Pathology

    Background:

    • Suprasellar space-occupying lesions can cause endocrine disorders.
    • Understanding the pathophysiology of these disorders is crucial for effective treatment.
    • An experimental model is needed to study these effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate an experimental canine model to investigate endocrine dysfunction caused by suprasellar lesions.
    • To characterize the progression and reversibility of thyroid dysfunction following hypothalamic compression.

    Main Methods:

    • An experimental model was created in dogs using Fogarty balloon catheters inserted below the optic chiasm.
    • The catheters were filled with contrast medium to simulate a suprasellar lesion.

  • Thyroid function was monitored, and morphological examinations were performed.

    • Main Results:

    • Initially reversible hypothalamic hypothyroidism was observed.
    • A secondary stage of chronic, irreversible thyroid dysfunction developed in most animals.
    • Clinical symptoms correlated with thyroid function changes.
    • Hypothalamic disorders were attributed to blood-brain barrier disturbances following compression and decompression.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed canine model effectively simulates endocrine disorders resulting from suprasellar lesions.
    • Hypothalamic compression leads to initial reversible and subsequent irreversible thyroid dysfunction.
    • Blood-brain barrier disruption in the hypothalamus is a key mechanism underlying these disorders.
