Résumé
In panic disorder (PD), functional disturbance of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis has been considered. However, in neuroimaging studies of PD, the hypothalamus and pituitary gland are poorly studied.We investigated the volume of PD patients' hypothalamus and pituitary gland, enrolling 38 PD patients and 38 healthy controls. Severity of PD was mild to moderate according to the Panic Disorder Severity Scale, and the illness duration was relatively short (median = 2.8 years). The hypothalamus' gray matter was automatically extracted and segmented, whereas the pituitary gland was manually traced. Regarding the hypothalamus, the paraventricular nucleus (PVH), which produces the corticotropin-releasing hormone, was of interest.The volumes of the pituitary and the bilateral anterior-superior hypothalamic subunits, where the PVH would be located, were compared by the multiple regression analyses controlling for age and intracranial content volume. To compensate for limitation in the abovementioned segmentation and analyses, the voxel-based morphometry with small volume correction (VBM-SVC) targeting the whole hypothalamus was also performed.The multiple regression analyses did not find significant effect of PD diagnosis on the volumes. However, in the VBM-SVC analysis, volume reduction of the PVH was suggested in PD even when patients who experienced PD for ≥ 3 years were excluded [peak coordinate (x, y, z = -2, 3, -8), FWE-corrected P = .022 (cluster-level) and 0.003 (peak-level), voxel size = 63]. Our results suggested structural alteration of the PVH in PD patients for the first time, indicating importance of the HPA-axis in PD pathology.
