title: Nelson's syndrome and behavioural changes reversed by selective adenomectomy.
abstract: A man with Nelson's syndrome developed severe associated behavioural and psychiatric problems, which completely resolved following selective resection of his pituitary tumour. It is postulated that ACTH, beta-endorphin, or related peptides may have caused these problems.
