[Cushing's disease successfully treated by transphenoidal hypophysectomy since eight years (author's transl) (proceedings)].
The authors show a case of true Cushing's disease by bilateral adrenal hyperplasia without pituitary tumor which is cured for eight years by only treated with transphenoidal hypophysectomy. They think that reaching by surgery, the nervous afferences from hypothalamus to hypophysis could play a part in ameliorating the pathologic relations which existed between two centers.
