NELSON’S SYNDROME
      Patients of Cushing’s Syndrome treated with total adrenalectomy later develop deep pigmentation of the skin and evidence of tumour in the pituitary. This is probably due to high levels of Melanin Secreting Hormone (M.S.H.) along with high ACTH.

2.5 CONN’S SYNDROME (PRIMARY ALDOSTERONISM)
      This syndrome is caused by an excess secretion of aldosterone by a secreting adrenal adenoma(70%). Bilateral adrenal hyperplasia (30%) and adenocarcinoma can also produce primary aldosteronism.
