Pituitary-Targeted Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Multisection CT for Detecting MR Imaging-Occult Functional Pituitary Microadenoma.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although resection of a tumor by trans-sphenoidal surgery is considered the criterion standard for successful surgical treatment of functional pituitary microadenoma, MR imaging occasionally fails to visualize and identify the tumor and supplementary imaging modalities are necessary. We tested the possibility of dynamic contrast-enhanced multisection CT of the pituitary g...
متن کاملEndoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery: pituitary microadenoma: 3-dimensional operative video.
This video demonstrates an endoscopic transsphenoidal resection of an corticotropin-secreting pituitary microadenoma. The patient is a 62-year-old man who was found to have a 5-mm pituitary adenoma after he exhibited signs and symptoms of Cushing disease. His endocrine laboratory studies confirmed central hypercortisolism.This video highlights dissection of the adenomapseudocapsule from the rem...
متن کاملCabergoline-induced Mania in a Patient of Pituitary Microadenoma
Cabergoline, a dopamine agonist agent, is commonly used in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia, Parkinson's disease, restless leg syndrome, and antipsychotic-induced prolactin elevation. It is generally well tolerated as compared to other dopamine agonist agents due to its more selective D2 receptor agonistic effect. We present a case of a 25-year-old female who developed manic episode, followi...
متن کاملCushing's Syndrome From Pituitary Microadenoma and Pulmonary Nodules.
Cushing's syndrome is a state of cortisol excess, possibly from a tumor in the pituitary gland, the adrenal gland, or an ectopic nonpituitary ACTH-secreting source. The first form, pituitary in origin, was originally described by Harvey Cushing, MD, and was labeled as Cushing's disease. Long-term therapy with glucocorticoids also can lead to iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome.
متن کاملMR imaging of pituitary adenoma: CT, clinical, and surgical correlation.
Twenty-five patients with suspected pituitary adenoma were evaluated prospectively with CT and MR. Nine patients underwent transsphenoidal surgery, and three of these showed a documented decrease in size of mass on bromocriptine therapy. CT was more sensitive than MR for detecting focal lesions (seven vs three) and sellar-floor erosion (12 vs six). MR was superior to CT in identifying infundibu...
