Pituitary disorders are caused by pituitary tumors and cysts or dysfunction of the pituitary gland itself. Pituitary tumors and cysts occur sporadically and although occasional genetic abnormalities have been identified in some pituitary tumors, there are few consistent findings.
Pituitary deficiency (hypopituitarism) ultimately causes a deficiency of hormones produced by the gonads, adrenal cortex and thyroid gland, as well as loss of growth hormone. Lack of anti-diuretic hormone production by the hypothalamus causes diabetes insipidus.he hypothalamus is a part of the brain that has a vital role in controlling many bodily functions including the release of hormones from the pituitary gland.
