However, inter IPS gradient &gt;1.4 was achieved in 11 (91.6%) of 12 Cushing's disease (CD) cases before vasopressin stimulation; and in 9 (75%) of 12 CD cases after vasopressin stimulation (P-value 0.583). HDDST suppression of more than 50% was present in only ten cases with CD, falsely negating CD in two cases (16.6%), sensitivity 83.3% and specificity 100%. MRI sella demonstrated pituitary microadenoma in 12 cases and macroadenoma in one case. Lateralization by BIPSS and MRI was concordant in 7 (58.3%) out of 12 cases with CD, with rate of remission after transsphenoidal surgery being higher in patients with concordant lateralization by BIPSS and MRI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>BIPSS is an important investigation to distinguish CD and EAS. BIPSS was superior to HDDST for confirming the source of excess ACTH.
