Abstract
- A case of persistent Cushing's syndrome in a 25 year-old male is presented. Inspite of bilateral total adrenalectomy twice during two years, there was no clinical improvement. Adrenal scanning revealed no adrenal remnants. ACTH secreting pituitary microadenoma is demonstrated by computed tomographic brain scan and hormonal studies. Selective transsphenoidal microadenomectomy results in clinical and endocrinological improvement.
