CD more often occurs in women. Recent studies indicate increasing prevalence of CD amongst the obese people. Therefore, the possibility of underlying CD should be ruled out in obese people. Inferior petrosal sinus sampling insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IPSS); is an important diagnostic method for diagnosing and localizing CD cases who can’t be diagnosed by standard imaging methods.
