Reports of two cases of selective adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and growth hormone (GH) deficiency: differential diagnosis from cases with isolated ACTH deficiency associated with transient GH insufficiency.
An acquired partial pituitary insufficiency with selective ACTH and GH deficiency was demonstrated in two men aged 47 and 54, for which the clinical course over many years corresponds to Addison's disease. In one of the 2 cases, antibodies to anterior pituitary cell membrane, assayed by an immunofluorescence method with GH3 cells (rat GH and prolactin secreting cell) and AtT-20 cells (mouse ACT...

متن کاملPituitary Stalk Interruption Syndrome in 53 Postpubertal Patients: Factors Influencing the Heterogeneity of Its Presentation
BACKGROUND Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) may induce an isolated growth hormone (GH) deficiency or multiple hypothalamic-pituitary (HP) deficiencies. Patients with multiple HP deficiencies, primarily those with adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) deficiency, are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Our objective was to identify the factors influencing each symptom and the MRI feat...
