ACTH deficiency: hypothalamic or pituitary in origin?

D Gordon, G H Beastall, C Thomson, J A Thomson.   

Abstract

The level within the hypothalamic-pituitary axis at which isolated ACTH deficiency occurs, can be more clearly identified by assessing this axis with corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) and insulin induced hypoglycaemia. We report a case where lack of response to both tests, suggests a pituitary origin for this rare endocrine deficiency.
