Overview
Pickardt-syndrome denotes a rare form of tertiary hypothyroidism that is caused by interruption of the portal veins connecting hypothalamus and pituitary, e.g. due to tumors compressing the infundibulum[1].
Other endocrine disorders that may be associated with Pickardt syndrome are suprasellar failures like secondary hypogonadism and functional hyperprolactinemia.
