Introduction: ACTHd is life-threatening and difficult to differentiate from ACTH suppression (ACTHs) especially in CYP receiving perioperative corticosteroids. In our experience, this is always the most robust anterior pituitary hormone to brain injury, whilst GH deficiency (GHd) is the first and LH/FSHd and TSHd intermediate in hierarchy. We previously showed HPA axis recovery at 3.08 (2.38–10.33) years after cortiscosteroid therapy for ACTHd in 13.6% of 44 CYP with cran...
