MeSH Heading: Petrosal Sinus Sampling
Tree Number(s): E01.370.225.124.100.600; E01.370.225.998.110.600; E04.665.150.600; E05.200.124.100.600; E05.200.998.110.600
Unique ID: D017591
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017591
Scope Note: Sampling of blood levels of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) by withdrawal of blood from the inferior petrosal sinus. The inferior petrosal sinus arises from the cavernous sinus and runs to the internal jugular vein. Sampling of blood at this level is a valuable tool in the differential diagnosis of Cushing disease, Cushing syndrome, and other adrenocortical diseases.
Entry Term(s): BSIPSS; Bilateral Synchronous Inferior Petrosal Sinus Sampling; Inferior Petrosal Sinus Sampling
