Microscopic Transsphenoidal Surgery for Pituitary Adenomas in Children and Adolescents
Background & Aim: We described the presentation, management and subsequent treatment outcomes of children and adolescents diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma in a joint neuroendocrine setting followed up by a single service as well as assessing long-term outcomes in terms of endocrine status and neurology symptoms. Methods & Materials/Patients: A total of 21 participants with histologically v...
متن کاملCase Report of Thymoma Tumor Reduction Following Plasmapheresis
For thymoma, multidisciplinary antitumor strategy is composed of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Meanwhile, ~20% to 25% of patients with thymoma have myasthenia gravis and plasmapheresis is recommended for thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis.We report a case that a 40-year-old woman with thymoma experiencing tumor relapse after surgery showed significant response to plasmapheresis.Thi...
متن کاملOutcome of Transphenoid Surgery for Corticotroph Pituitary Tumors
Background & Importance: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the result of transsphenoid microsurgery for Cushing disease in our center and comparing the results in details with other articles, to achieve the best decision for patients management in future. Case Presentation: Between 1991 to 2015, 50 patients suffering from Cushing disease were operated. Before operation, endocrine t...
متن کاملSenescence mediates pituitary hypoplasia and restrains pituitary tumor growth.
Understanding factors subserving pituitary cell proliferation enables understanding mechanisms underlying uniquely benign pituitary tumors. Pituitary tumor-transforming gene (Pttg) deletion results in pituitary hypoplasia, low pituitary cell proliferation rates, and rescue of pituitary tumor development in Rb(+/-) mice. Pttg(-/-) pituitary glands exhibit ARF/p53/p21-dependent senescence pathway...
متن کاملTranssphenoidal line of vision on MRI for pituitary tumor surgery.
This study was done to determine the usefulness of the sagittal magnetic resonance image (MRI) in predicting the ease of resectability of pituitary adenomas operated through the transsphenoidal route. Tumors were graded according to Hardy's method and a new system proposed by us. In this system the amount of tumor above the line of vision (V-line) as seen on the sagittal MRI was estimated and c...
