摘要
A 42-year-old man and a 51-year-old woman with a positive history of weakness and gastrointestinal complaints were shown to have low basal plasma cortisol and ACTH levels, and low daily urinary excretion of free cortisol. An empty sella was found in patient no. 1, while patient no. 2 was hypothyroid. Both patients showed a normal plasma cortisol response to ACTH and an increment in plasma ACTH and lipotropin levels after ovine CRH (oCRH), lysine vasopressin (LVP) and oCRH-LVP stimulation tests. These studies clearly report an isolated idiopathic ACTH deficiency due to a deficit in CRH in two adult subjects.
