  Bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (BIPSS) is considered the most accurate procedure to confirm the diagnosis of Cushing’s disease (CD). However, it is a cumbersome and costly procedure. We aim to determine whether the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) test alone might differentiate CD from ectopic adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) syndrome (EAS).
