L’acromégalie est une maladie chronique rare causée par une hypersécrétion d’hormone de croissance. L’étiologie est un adénome hypophysaire sécrétant de l’hormone de croissance chez la majorité des individus atteints. En raison du risque accru de morbidité et de mortalité et de son impact sur la qualité de vie, un diagnostic précoce de l’acromégalie est essentiel pour optimiser la prise en charge. La connaissance des caractéristiques cliniques, ainsi que des conditions médicales connues pour être associées à l’acromégalie, est essentielle pour étayer un diagnostic précoce.
Ce programme a reçu le soutien financier de Pfizer et de l’ICEBM sous la forme d’une subvention pédagogique sans restriction.
