hypothalamo‐pituitary dysfunction and CT scans showed a discrete hypothalamic lesion …

Lesion and thermal stimulation studies suggest that temperature regulation is controlled by a
hierarchy of neural structures. Effector areas for specific thermoregulatory responses are …

Although compression of the hypothalamus in cases of suprasellar tumour is common,
