The main differential diagnoses causing HN are the syn...
متن کاملTranssphenoidal removal of huge pituitary adenomas with marked suprasellar extension: results with modified surgical technique.

METHODS The technique allowed to avoid the occurrence of a precocious descent of the suprasellar cisternal plane into the sellar plane during tumour removal and its related consequences (incomplete tumour removal, occurrence of cerebro...
