Pituitary macroadenoma leading to hypogonadism in a dog

Pituitary macroadenoma coexistent with a posterior circulation aneurysm leading to subarachnoidal hemorrhage during transsphenoidal surgery.

The coexistence of cerebral aneurysm and pituitary adenoma has been described previously. Most of such cases harbor functional tumors and anterior circulation aneurysms, with very rare cases of posterior circulation aneurysms. In this report, we present a case of subarachnoidal hemorrhage due to rupture of an undetected basilar apex aneurysm during microscopic transsphenoidal surgery for a nonf...

A FSH-Secreting Pituitary Macroadenoma Causing A Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome

Case Report of a Pituitary Macroadenoma Treated With Artemether Artemether and Pituitary Macroadenoma

with radiation) is the most common treatment option. Treatment of adenomas with surgery alone is associated with a 9% risk of significant complications other than hypothyroidism. Additionally, there is a significant recurrence risk with surgical treatment alone. Park et al found a 5-year recurrence rate of 15.2% and a 10-year recurrence rate of 50.5% for 132 patients having nonfunctioning macro...

Vanishing Pituitary Macroadenoma: A Case Report

Pituitary macroadenomas are the most common suprasellar lesions in adults and are typically managed surgically through transsphenoidal resection when symptomatic. Due to their close proximity to the optic chiasm, pituitary macroadenomas often present with signs of bitemporal hemianopsia. Alternatively, these tumors can cause mass effect, thus presenting with signs of elevated intracranial press...

Lymphocytic Hypophysitis Mimicking Pituitary Macroadenoma.

Lymphocytic hypophysitis is an inflammatory /autoimmune disorder that primarily involves the pituitary gland and the pituitary stalk. The common clinical presentations include headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, features of hypopituitarism and diabetes insipidus as well as diplopia, orbital pain and bitemporal hemianopia. We report a case of lymphocytic hypophysitis which presented as hemichor...
