McCune-Albright syndrome - 11 years of experience with bisphosphonate treatmentReview articles
A case report of an adult female patient with McCune-Albright syndrome is presented. The clinical picture is dominated by bone in volvement, hyperthyroidism and persistent hyperoestrogenism. There is no widely accepted consensus in the treatment of these con ditions. Although administration of bisphosphonates is beneficial, no available treatment can completely stop the progression of bone disease. Treatment of hyperoestrogenism is still a matter of debate and is reserved for patients who wish to conceive. The clinical si gnificance of other organ system involvement such as sinus tachycardia, long QTc or liver disease is not yet clear. The case report des cribes our experience with 11 years of bisphosphonate treatment.
