Modi Tanvi, Verma Mitusha, Patkar P Deepak and Ahuja Gauri

Hyperprolactinemia is an endocrine disorder affecting the hypothalamic-anterior pituitary axis, more commonly seen in women where it manifests as galactorrhoea, secondary amenorrhoea or oligomenorrhoea. In men, symptoms related to hypogonadism are seen such as erectile dysfunction, oligospermia, diminished volume of ejaculate and decreased libido. Hyperprolactinemia can be due to pituitary prolactinomas, may be drug-induced or idiopathic. We report a rare case of hyperprolactinemia in an elderly male secondary to invasive fungal sinusitis.
