Objective: To examine whether prolactinoma patients have an altered personality profile.Methods: In this cross-sectional study 84 prolactinoma patients were enrolled.

Hypothalamic damage often leads to central obesity and fatigue. The impact of these changes on quality of life and body perception has been ...
