Abstract：
:The morphological structure and immunohistochemical reactions of 100 pituitaries from cases of SIDS children (58 males and 42 females, average age 5.34 +/- 3.12 months) were studied. Controls consisted of 19 pituitaries from children (14 males and 5 females, average age 5.63 +/- 2.52 months) with a clearly identifiable cause of death e.g. drowing or strangulation. The microscopical and immunohistochemical studies for identifying pituitary cell types revealed normally developed organs. Unspecific necroses and haemorrhages were observed in 2 cases of SIDS but in none of the controls. Hyperaemia was detected in 51 (30 male/21 female) cases of SIDS. No significant differences were found in the distribution of microfollicles (54%), cysts of the intermediate zone (14%), persistency of the Rathke's pouch (44%), Erdheim's squamous epithelium (8%) or heterotopic salivary glands (3%). The semiquantitative immunohistochemical evaluations of the different cell types showed no significant variations from the control group. The pattern of distribution of the intracytoplasmic vacuolisations of the ACTH and gonadotropic cells showed no significant differences. Folliculo-stellate cells were either not demonstrable--commensurate with age--or showed a normal distribution. The results for both study groups may be defined as consequences of terminal agony, but failed to reveal the cause of the sudden infant death.
