Hypothalamic obesity (HO) is a relatively rare cause of obesity within the population as a
whole, but studies of patients with hypothalamic damage show there is a significant …

Objective Obesity is highly prevalent among adults with acquired, structural hypothalamic
damage. We aimed to determine hormonal and neuroanatomical variables associated with …

Objective The hypothalamus regulates energy homeostasis, and its damage results in
severe obesity. We aimed to investigate the multifaceted characteristics of hypothalamic …

Results: Mean neural activation in the posterior insula and lingual gyrus (brain areas linked
to food motivation and reward value of food) in HWS were significantly lower than in the …

Objective Excessive weight gain frequently occurs in patients with hypothalamic tumors and
lesions leading to hypothalamic obesity (HO). Methods Digital brain magnetic resonance …

Background: Obesity is a common sequel to tumours of the hypothalamic region and their
treatment. Weight gain occurs at a rate faster than any expected age-related increase and …

Background: Weight gain is underrecognised in patients with hypothalamic damage and the
prevalence and mechanisms are poorly defined. The aim of this study was to define the …

Background/objectives Hypothalamic obesity (HO) occurs in 50% of patients with the
pituitary tumor craniopharyngioma (CP). Attempts have been made to predict the risk of HO …

PURPOSE: Obesity is a common consequence in patients with tumors of the hypothalamic
region and of related treatment in children. Much less information is available on adult …

BACKGROUND Given the heightened tolerance to self-starvation in anorexia nervosa (AN),
a hypothalamic dysregulation of energy and glucose homeostasis has been hypothesized …
