Pituitary Diseases (Disease, Anterior Pituitary)

Disorders involving either the ADENOHYPOPHYSIS or the NEUROHYPOPHYSIS. These diseases usually manifest as hypersecretion or hyposecretion of PITUITARY HORMONES. Neoplastic pituitary masses can also cause compression of the OPTIC CHIASM and other adjacent structures.

03/01/1991 - "The present study aimed at evaluating the anterior pituitary hormone levels in the inferior petrosal sinuses and in the peripheral blood of 55 patients affected by various pituitary disorders and undergoing perihypophysial phlebography on neurosurgical indication or for diagnostic purposes. "
01/01/1991 - "Four different studies of sexual problems and sexual dysfunction in patients with hypothalamo-pituitary disorders have been undertaken and data about the sex life of the patients have been correlated with diagnosis, tumour extension and pathology, endocrine insufficiency and pituitary hormone hypersecretion. "
07/01/2023 - "In the treatment of hypothalamic and pituitary diseases, it is important to understand the functions of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, preserve hypothalamic function, evaluate the endocrine function, and follow up appropriately throughout life, including hormone replacement without excess or deficiency. "
01/01/2023 - "In this review, we aim to I) provide information about the impact of pituitary disorders on ectopic fat stores, II) and to present up-to-date knowledge on potential pathophysiological mechanisms of hormone action in ectopic lipid metabolism."
09/01/2021 - "However, the management of skeletal fragility and VFs in the specific setting of pituitary diseases is a challenge, since the awareness for this disease is still low, prediction of VFs is uncertain, the diagnosis of VFs cannot be solely based on a clinical approach and also needs a radiological and morphometric approach, the risk of fractures may not be decreased via treatment of pituitary hormone disorders, and the effectiveness of bone-active drugs in this setting is not always evidence-based.
