Abstract:
Endocrine disorders of the pituitary and other hypothalamic structures are reviewed. Anterior and posterior pituitary physiology is described as well as hormone-producing tumors that cause Cushing's disease, hyperprolactinemia, acromegaly-gigantism, and precocious and delayed puberty. The diagnosis and management of diabetes insipidus caused by hypothalamic-posterior pituitary disorders complete the overview.
