Overview

Hyperpituitarism is the result of excess secretion of adenohypophyseal trophic hormones most commonly by a functional pituitary adenoma. Other causes are hyperplasias and carcinomas of the adenohypophysis, secretion by non-pituitary tumours and certain hypothalamic disorders.

Clinical manifestations

Depending on the cell type(s) affected, clinical manifestations of hormone excess may include:

Associated conditions

When there is an enlargement of the pituitary tissue, hyperpituitarism is often associated with:

Visual field defects, classically bitemporal hemianopia
Radiographic abnormalities of the sella turcica, such as sellar expansion, bony erosion and disuption of the diaphragma sellae
Increased intracranial pressure

Symptoms

Symptoms caused by hormone excess and associated mass effects include:
