French term

insuffisance anté ou post hypophysaire

French to English Medical Medical (general) hypophyse
This is from a list of disorders that are treated at a certain hospital.
The full phrase is:
Autres pathologies hypophysaires (hypophysite, insuffisance anté ou post hypophysaire...)

From what I understand, ***insuffisance anté ou post hypophysaire*** both refers to disorders in which the pituitary gland fails to produce enough hormones. Can the entire expression be translated as simply "hypopituitarism"??

Suggestions and insight welcome.

TIA

Discussion

Sue Davis Nov 11, 2020:
I think "anterior or posterior pituitary failure" would also be possible
Andrzej Ziomek Nov 11, 2020:
The article in https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8228021/ is about 'anterior' hypophyseal insufficiency (not 'posterior') as if those two might be separated sometimes.
Emmanuella Nov 11, 2020:
Dans ce cas, en un seul mot. (Posthypophysaire)
Anne Schulz Nov 10, 2020:
Non, c'est l'anté hypophyse (hypophyse antérieure)
Emmanuella Nov 10, 2020:
Ante (latin) sans accent

18 mai 2019 — Hypopituitarism is a rare disorder in which your pituitary gland fails to produce one or more hormones, or doesn't produce enough hormones.

TSH, ACTH, LH, FSH, prolactine, qui sont synthétisées au niveau de l'anté-hypophyse et ADH et ocytocines qui sont stockées au niveau de la post-hypophyse.

Hypopituitarism is defined as partial or complete deficiency in one or more of the hormones produced by the anterior pituitary gland (ACTH, TSH, FSH, LH, GH, prolactin) or posterior pituitary (ADH, oxytocin).

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "This confirmed my hunch. I opted for "hypopituitarism" on the basis that it covers anterior and posterior, no need to look any further. This is sufficient for my context. "

Mayby also 'anterior and posterior hypopituitarism'
Peer comment(s):

agree Anne Schulz : with anterior & posterior hypopituitarism [Hi DrManu, it certainly does in a way, but why then does the source explicitly specify "anté ou post", rather than just speaking of "insuffisance hypophysaire"?]

Thanks.
neutral Drmanu49 : Not the usual terminology. And for Anne, hypopituitarism covers both the anterior pituitary gland (ACTH, TSH, FSH, LH, GH, prolactin) or posterior pituitary (ADH, oxytocin).

agree Sue Davis : I agree the text specifically refers to anterior OR posterior. Note also that this text excludes the intermediate pituitary, which produces alpha-MSH and beta-endorphin. Hypopituitarism is a general term for the whole pituitary.
