A Case of Cushing's Disease Successfully Treated with Bromocriptine

Abstract

A case of Cushing's disease is reported. The administration of bromocriptine was extremely effective in reducing excessive adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol in the blood, which were previously not suppressed by 8 mg dexamethasone and persisted even after removal of the ACTH-producing adenoma in the hypophysis.
