Background: Hypothalamo-posterior-pituitary (HPP) disorders are complex, life-threatening, and often of uncertain pathogenesis. Oxytocin and AVP/copeptin share production and storage sites, but they are difficult to measure in biological fluids. Correlation with HPP neuroimaging abnormalities has not been previously determined.Aim: To correlate unstimulated plasma copeptin/oxytocin with hypothalamic volumes/PP location i...
