The state of the blood pressure in various hypophysary syndromes has been noted only in recent years. The facts that low blood pressure occurs in hypopituitary syndromes and that high blood pressure occurs in subjects with basophilic adenomas of the anterior lobe have been offered as bases for a conception that the anterior lobe of the hypophysis is important in the normal regulation of blood pressure. The result of a study of the blood pressure in 138 cases of hypophysary syndrome is recorded and discussed. The list does not include the cases of basophilic adenoma which have been reported in a separate paper. The data from this study indicate that changes in the internal secretions of the hypophysis do not intluence the blood pressure. Such variations of blood pressure as occurred are thought to be due to normal changes which may be observed in any other group of patients. The higher pressures are found in the older patients rather than in relation to any specific state of the hypophysis. The hypertension which occurs in patients with basophilic adenomas of the hypophysis is considered to be due to hyperplastic changes in the suprarenal gland rather than to changes in the hypophyseal gland.
