    Author: Liubinas SV, Porto LD, Kaye AH.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2011 Jan; 18(1):7-12. PubMed ID: 20851608.
    Abstract:
    The management of patients with Cushing's disease remains a major challenge. The remission rate for initial transsphenoidal surgery is reported as 69-94% while the recurrence rate following initially successful transsphenoidal surgery is 2-27%. Treatment options for Cushing's disease after failed initial therapy or recurrence include repeat transsphenoidal surgery, radiotherapy, medical therapy and bilateral adrenalectomy. Management options following unsuccessful initial surgery or recurrence are presented and discussed.
