Manchenko OV , Marova EI

In some patients with Cushing’s disease (CD), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) fails to detect small pituitary ACTH-secreting adenomas despite the results of endocrine evaluation indicating Cushing’s disease.Aim: The aim of this paper is to study frequency of hypocorticism after radiosurgery – protonotherapy (PT) for patients with normal MRI for Cushing’s disease and for patients with confirmed adenomas.Methods:...
