Abstract
- Two young women developed oligomenorrhoea and galactorrhoea 4 and 7 years after whole brain irradiation for brain tumours. Both had mild hyperprolactinaemia due to irradiation-induced hypothalamic damage. In both patients, oral bromocriptine normalized prolactin levels and menstruation resumed. One patient then had a successful pregnancy.
