Value of computed tomographic scanning in patients with growth hormone deficiency

In 18 of a series of 23 patients with growth hormone deficiency, computed tomographic scanning demonstrated a markedly small sellar volume. In four of the remaining five patients, the sella was enlarged. The cause of the enlargement was readily identifiable. Computed tomographic scanning of the sell...

Zusammenfassung:	In 18 of a series of 23 patients with growth hormone deficiency, computed tomographic scanning demonstrated a markedly small sellar volume. In four of the remaining five patients, the sella was enlarged. The cause of the enlargement was readily identifiable. Computed tomographic scanning of the sella appears to provide valuable supportive evidence of hypopituitarism.
