Overview

Hypopituitarism can be classified according to the site of the affected part of the pituitary gland either anterior or posterior. It can be also classified according to the etiology into primary or secondary. Based on the gland involvement, hypopituitarism can be classified into partial and panhypopituitarism.

Classification

Hypopituitarism can be classified based on the following different ways of classification:

• Anatomical site:
  • Anterior
  • Posterior
• Etiology:
  • Primary hypopituitarism
  • Secondary hypopituitarism
• Gland involvement:
  • Partial
  • Panhypopituitarism
