Calvaria thickening in acromegaly

Summary: Acromegaly is a chronic disease caused by abnormal secretion of growth hormone by a pituitary adenoma. It is characterized by slow progression of signs and symptoms, resulting in acral overgrowth, somatic changes, and various comorbidities. Oro-dental symptoms such as dental diastema, mandibular overgrowth, mandibular prognathism, and macroglossia are common in acromegalic patients.
