Inferior petrosal sinus sampling

Discussion:

On the basis of the IPSS and MRI this patient went on to have an exploratory transphenoidal hypophysectomy. Although histological proof of a microadenoma was not achieved, the patient became biochemically normal following surgery and their ACTH levels returned to normal. 

At 18 months follow up remains well with normal pituitary function.
