Bilateral adrenalectomy for the treatment of Itsenko-Cushing's Disease (clinical case)
The main method of treatment for Itsenko-Cushing's disease is surgical (endoscopic transnasal adenomectomy), while the drug and radiation treatment method is given secondary importance. Bilateral adrenalectomy is indicated when all treatment methods are ineffective or impossible to perform, or to save the patient's life in an extremely severe course of hypercorticism. There is a risk of developing an adrenal crisis or forming Nelson syndrome after bilateral adrenalectomy. We present a clinical case of treatment of a patient with bilateral adrenalectomy after the development of severe osteoporosis due to hypercorticism in young age.
