Are EDS And Pituitary Tumor Related Disease?
Have you ever come across a relationship between ehlers danlos syndrome and pituitary abnormalities? Specifically, pituitary adenomas, hypopituitarism, empty sella syndrome, growth hormone deficiency? I have EDS, but also a pituitary tumor that apparently destroyed most of my pituitary. I m just trying to learn if the 2 conditions are related. Thanks.

Hello,
I understand your concern and would explain that there is no direct connection in the literature between EDS and pituitary gland disorders. So, this is just a coincidence and an incidental comorbidity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
