Abstract:
Cushing's disease remains a difficult diagnosis in spite of new technical procedures such as pituitary MRI, selective bilateral petrosal or cavernous sampling, (111)In pentreotide scan and 18 Flurodeoxyglucose pituitary PET scan. In this article, we review biological diagnostic procedures of Cushing's disease and corticotroph adenomas. According to our experience and the literature, we summarize the approach in medical treatment of Cushing's disease.
