Abstract
Pituitary insufficiency indicates disease in the region of the sella turcica and hypothalamus. Tumors of this region may cause pituitary insufficiency.
A finding such as diabetes insipidus, or even amenorrhea, should alert the physician to the possibility of a pituitary tumor. Diagnosis may require such additional evidence as visual-field or x-ray changes.
