Four patients with hydrocephalus secondary to neurocysticercosis, were evaluated making a comparative analysis of their pre- and post-operative state. The results showed that intracranial hypertension "per se" does not generate changes in the hypothalamopituitary axis function. The cortisol response to its appropriate stimulus was subnormal indicating that the intracranial hypertension affects the adrenocorticotrophic or the ACTH system.
对4例继发于神经囊尾蚴病的脑积水患者进行了术前和术后状态的对比分析。结果显示，颅内高压“本身”并不会引起下丘脑 - 垂体轴功能的改变。皮质醇对其适当刺激的反应低于正常水平，表明颅内高压影响促肾上腺皮质激素或促肾上腺皮质激素系统。
