Eleven previously nonoperated patients with suspected pituitary microadenomas were scanned on a 1.5-T GE system before and after administration of IV gadolinium-DTPA (0.1 mmol/kg). Six patients had Cushing disease, four had hyperprolactinemia, and one had acromegaly. Surgical confirmation was available in all cases, and these findings were correlated with results of CT and venous sampling, when...
CONTEXT Cushing Syndrome is difficult to diagnose, and the comorbidities and persistent late effects of hypercortisolemia after treatment of the primary disease are challenging for the patient and the endocrinologist. OBJECTIVE To report the case of a girl with obesity and hypertension, ultimately diagnosed with Cushing syndrome due to primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease. In this...
Adrenal cortical tumors constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with distinct clinical, morphological, and molecular features. Recent discoveries of specific genotype-phenotype correlations in adrenal cortical adenomas have transformed our understanding of their respective endocrine syndromes. Indeed, a proportion of patients with primary aldosteronism are now known to harbor adrenal cort...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Inferior petrosal sinus sampling (IPSS) is a useful diagnostic technique in adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-dependent hypercortisolism with normal or equivocal MR imaging. The procedure is believed to be safe, with mostly minor complications. However, there are rare, but severe, neurologic complications that need to be considered. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a...
The interrelationship between the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the immune system has been becoming clear. However, most research about this interrelationship has been performed by in vitro experiments and by using animal models. To know the effect of hypercortisolism on human immune systems in vivo, we report at 32-year-old man with typical Cushing disease whose specific and non-spec...
BACKGROUND Inferior petrosal sinus sampling (IPSS) is a useful technique for confirming a pituitary source of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) overproduction in Cushing disease. Uncertainty remains regarding the appropriate course of therapy when an ectopic tumor is predicted by IPSS but none can be found and in circumstances when the procedure cannot be successfully completed owing to techni...
