IPB Analysis - "S" sign

Female, Age:44
The S-sign
According to John Andrews:
- S sign related to the function of hypothalamus and in particular the functions of the pituitary gland, especially prolactin release.
- Many prolactinoma patients have the S sign.
- The S sign can relate to other pituitary problems, the more distinct and pronounced it is the greater the tendency to prolactin disturbances. The more distorted the sign, the greater the tendency to extreme menopausal or premenstrual symptoms a women may experience.
- Potential endocrine imbalance.
The S sign always located in the frontal section of the inner pupillary border.
