Apinealism
Definition
A rare clinical syndrome caused by the congenital absence, complete developmental failure, or surgical or pathological destruction of the pineal gland (epiphysis). This pathological condition disrupts normal melatonin secretion, directly impacting the regulation of circadian rhythms, the sleep-wake cycle, and the proper secretion of gonadotropic hormones.
