The syndrome of opsoclonus and myoclonus may be the first presenting symptom of neuroblastoma. The disorder is often controlled by treatment with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). A child with this disorder and treated with ACTH gel had abnormal uptake of 67Ga in both adrenal glands during studies

## Abstract ## Background. The majority of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)βsecreting tumors are localized in the chest or abdomen. Occasionally, these tumors are found in the paranasal sinuses. ## Methods. We present 2 unusual cases of ectopic ACTH syndrome whose ACTHβsecreting tumors
Genetic screening techniques using simple sequence repeat polymorphisms were applied to investigate the molecular nature of congenital isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) deficiency. We hypothesize that this rare cause of hypocortisolism shared by a brother and sister with two unaffected sib
## Abstract The adrenal cortex is a highly vascularized endocrine tissue. A dense network of blood capillaries centripetally irrigates the adrenal gland, allowing every endocrine cell to be in contact with an endothelial cell. The pituitary hormone ACTH controls the coordinated development of the v
