Abstract

Pituitary disorders can manifest as either hyperfunction or hypofunction of the gland, with conditions such as acromegaly, Cushing's disease, and hyperprolactinemia representing the former, while hypopituitarism, diabetes insipidus, and non-functioning adenomas fall into the latter category. Diagnosing these disorders often necessitates a multidisciplinary approach, combining clinical evaluation, hormone level assessments, and advanced imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and dynamic testing. The intricate interplay between the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus further complicates diagnosis, as dysfunction in one often affects the other
