Scope note: Trastornos de la ADENOHIPÓFOSIS o NEUROHIPÓFISIS. Generalmente se manifiestan por hiposecreción o hipersecreción de HORMONAS HIPOFISARIAS. Las lesiones tumorales de la hipófisis pueden producir también compresión del QUIASMA ÓPTICO y de otras estructuras adyacentes.

Scope note: Disorders involving either the ADENOHYPOPHYSIS or the NEUROHYPOPHYSIS. These diseases usually manifest as hypersecretion or hyposecretion of PITUITARY HORMONES. Neoplastic pituitary masses can also cause compression of the OPTIC CHIASM and other adjacent structures.
