These patients were operated mainly by a frontal approach. We evaluated the frequency of sleep disorders secondary to hypothalamic damage and thei...

Role of computed tomography scan in adrenal tumors

Boudiaf Dia Eddine , Azzoug Said , Chentli Farida

Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) scan is the first imaging method used to characterize adrenal lesions in order to select patients for surgical treatment. Our aim was to specify the performance of this tool in the work up of adrenal masses (AM) recruited in a department of Endocrinology.Material and methods: This retrospective study included 100 patients hospitalized in our department between 2008 and 2014 for adrenal tumors.
