    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Neuroendocrinology
    • Medical History

    Background:

    • Cushing's syndrome aetiology understanding has changed significantly over 70 years.
    • Historically, various theories have been proposed regarding the causes of Cushing's syndrome.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the historical evolution of concepts regarding Cushing's syndrome aetiology.
    • To summarize the current consensus on the primary cause of Cushing's syndrome.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of historical and contemporary research on Cushing's syndrome.
    • Analysis of the current understanding of pituitary adenoma's role.

    Main Results:

    • A consensus now exists that approximately 70% of Cushing's syndrome cases are caused by pituitary adenomas.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Surgical removal of pituitary adenomas leads to remission in many patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pituitary adenoma is the predominant cause of Cushing's syndrome.
    • While remission is achievable, the ultimate cure rate and long-term outcomes require extended follow-up.
    • The primary versus secondary nature of pituitary lesions in relation to central nervous system events remains under investigation.
