In recent years, it has become apparent that the incidence of diseases of the hypothalamic-pituitary system is extremely high. The clinical manifestations of diseases such as acromegaly, Itsenko Cushing's disease, primary hyperprolactinemic hypogonadism are considered to be well known [8, 9, 32, 45]. However, to select the optimal method of treatment in each specific clinical situation, it is imperative for the clinician to obtain information about the state of the main structural link of the pathological process - the pituitary gland
