Descriptor English: Petrosal Sinus Sampling
Descriptor Spanish: Muestreo de Seno Petroso
Descriptor muestreo del seno petroso
Entry term(s) muestreo del seno petroso inferior
Scope note: Muestreo de las concentraciones sanguíneas de hormona adrenocorticotropa (ACTH) mediante obtención de sangre del seno petroso inferior. El seno petroso inferior surge del seno cavernoso y va hacia la vena yugular interna. El muestreo de sangre a este nivel es una valiosa herramienta en el diagnóstico diferencial de la enfermedad de Cushing, el síndrome de Cushing, y otras enfermedades corticosuprarrenales.

Scope note: Sampling of blood levels of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) by withdrawal of blood from the inferior petrosal sinus. The inferior petrosal sinus arises from the cavernous sinus and runs to the internal jugular vein. Sampling of blood at this level is a valuable tool in the differential diagnosis of Cushing disease, Cushing syndrome, and other adrenocortical diseases.
