[Results of the clinical and electroencephalographic studies in patients with acromegaly of different etiologies].
A complex examination of 56 patients with an active stage of acromegaly was performed according to the scheme, involving clinical and electroencephalographic studies as well as the investigation of somatotropic secretion by means of functional tests with thyroliberin and parlodel. Two main forms of acromegaly, i.e. "hypophyseal" (hypothalamus-independent) and hypothalamic (central) were revealed, differing in the disease course, clinical pattern, results of the electroencephalographic examination and response to thyroliberin and parlodel functional tests.
