Treatment
All our team members have vast experience in the treatment of complex neuroendocrine conditions like ectopic posterior pituitary. [chop.edu]
Treatment of Central Diabetes Insipidus Treatment is provided with a targeted fluid balance, intravenous fluids and desmopressin (DDAVP) replacement. [pacificneuroscienceinstitute.org]
Treatment is generally delivered in fractions, one treatment or “fraction” a day, five days a weeks for four to five weeks. Proton Beam Treatment Proton beam treatment employs a different type of radiation called protons. [aans.org]
Treatment Just as administration of water is the primary treatment for diabetes insipidus, restriction of water is the primary treatment of SIADH. This will cause decrease in the extracellular volume and stop the ongoing stimulus to natriuresis. [pituitary.org]
Treatment of hypopituitarism depends upon the underlying cause. [endocrinology.medicine.ubc.ca]
Prognosis
Outlook (Prognosis) Acute pituitary infarction is a potentially life-threatening event. Prognosis for chronic deficiency (which is detected and treated) is good. [medicine.georgetown.edu]
Prognosis The prognosis for most patients with hypopituitarism is excellent. As long as therapy is continued, many experience normal life spans. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Outlook If hormone replacement therapy is adequate, the prognosis is good. Complications are often related to the underlying disease. For More Information Visit the Pituitary Network Association web site. [webmd.com]
The prognosis for AS is difficult to predict, as it varies widely between individuals, and the progression is often not constant. Important factors for measuring outlook include levels of functional ability, spinal mobility, joint damage, and so on. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Etiology
Etiologic Diagnosis The primary disorder in diabetes insipidus is disregulation of osmotically stimulated release of vasopressin. [pituitary.org]
Background Epidemiology Incidence – 4-5/100,000 Age – incidence increases with age Etiology Tumor – adenoma, lymphoma, metastatic infiltration Autoimmune disorders – c onnective tissue disease Trauma – surgery, head injury, radiation Vascular – hemorrhagic [arupconsult.com]
We will discuss the main etiologies, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and different treatments for both pathologies. [repositorio.unican.es]

Pathophysiology
The remainder of the text has covered the two major pathophysiological disturbances of AVP secretion. In considering diabetes insipidus a pragmatic approach has been taken in the differentiation of the causes of polyuria and its treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The pathophysiology of hypopituitarism usually involves damage to the pituitary gland, which renders it unable to produce one or more hormones in the normal manner. [news-medical.net]
