Medical therapy is mostly used as second-line treatment after failed surgery or recurrence and comprises several pituitary-directed drugs, glucocorticoid receptor blocker and adrenal steroidogenesis inhibitors such as osilodrostat. We here describe a case of a Tunisian patient with uncured cushing’s disease who developed iatrogenic adrenal insufficiency in the setting of Osilodrostat...

Introduction: Pseudopheochromocytoma is a poorly comprehended entity believed to arise from an overstimulated sympathetic nervous system. Individuals with pseudopheochromocytoma seem to demonstrate heightened cardiovascular reactivity to catecholamines, along with an increased release of epinephrine from the adrenal glands in response to stimulation from the sympathetic nervous system. This clinical report presents an observation of pseudopheochromocytoma in a patient diagnose...

Wolfram syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive entity characterized by several progressive neurodegenerative manifestations.Observation: We report the case of a 27-year-old patient from a Consanguineous marriage, followed for hypogonadism with delayed puberty and insulin-requiring diabetes since the age of 13 with negative autoantibodies. His diabetes is complicated after 5 years of a mainly vegetative neuropathy with neurogenic bladder complicated by b...

Introduction: Pituitary adenomas stand as the most prevalent form of tumorous pathology impacting the pituitary gland in adults. Their discovery might arise from either hypersecretion in functional adenomas or the manifestation of compression symptoms on neighboring structures. Detection of a pituitary adenoma can occur incidentally during various imaging modalities, encompassing both structural and functional assessments. This study documents a case involving the incidental d...
