Adrenostatische Therapie mit Metyrapon und Aminoglutethimid beim ACTH-abhängigen Cushing-Syndrom

Abstract: Bei zehn Patienten mit ACTH-abhängigem CushingSyndrom, vier mit ektopem Cushing-Syndrom und sechs mit M. Cushing, wurde retrospektiv die Wirksamkeit einer adrenostatischen Therapie mit Metyrapon (Metopiron®) und Aminoglutethimid (Orimeten®) untersucht. Unter Metyrapon allein (n = 5) sowie in Kombination mit Aminoglutethimid (n = 5) kam es bei allen Patienten zu einer dauerhaften Senkung der Serum-Cortisol-Konzentration.
