Hypothalamic disease

Hypothalamic disease is a group of diseases that cause hypothalamic dysfunction due to multiple causes. The main features are hypoendocrine dysfunction and autonomic dysfunction. The hypothalamus is both an advanced autonomic nerve center and an advanced endocrine center with complex functions. Hypothalamus is closely related to pituitary function, gonadal activity, body temperature regulation, appetite control, and water metabolism.
