The pituitary mass after transsphenoidal hypophysectomy.
To understand the natural changes in the CT appearance of a pituitary mass after transsphenoidal hypophysectomy of a pituitary tumor, we obtained CT follow-up studies in 12 patients with pituitary adenoma. The heights of the pituitary masses on the coronal sections of each CT study were measured. It was found that the height of the pituitary mass did not return to normal immediately after the o...
متن کاملTranssphenoidal Hypophysectomy : Postsurgical CT Findings 45
Transsphenoidal surgery produces changes in the parana sal sinuses and sella that should be familiar to radiologists in view of the frequency of this type of surgery. Some of these changes, such as soft-tissue-density debris in the sinuses, are transient. Fat and other packing material identifiable in the sinuses and sella after surgery is permanent. The procedure is associated with a variety o...
متن کاملAcromegaly and transsphenoidal hypophysectomy: a case report.
Anterior pituitary tumors account for nearly 18% of all intracranial tumors. Pituitary adenomas that cause hypersecretion of growth hormone lead to acromegaly in adults. Patients with acromegaly may present unique problems for the anesthetist because of the overgrowth of airway soft tissues; a difficult mask ventilation and challenging intubation can be expected. A careful preoperative assessme...
متن کاملCerebral Vasospasm Following Transsphenoidal Hypophysectomy in the Treatment of Lymphocytic Hypophysitis.
Cerebral vasospasm following transsphenoidal hypophysectomy is an exceedingly rare but serious complication with high morbidity and mortality. The initial signs and symptoms of cerebral vasospasm following transsphenoidal hypophysectomy are changes in mental status, motor deficits, and speech difficulties. Symptomatic vasospasm is difficult to reverse despite treatment and often only resolves w...
متن کاملProgress in transsphenoidal hypophysectomy for treatment of pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism in dogs and cats.
Cushing's disease or pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH) is common in dogs and rare in cats. PDH is caused by a pituitary tumor producing adrenocorticotropin (ACTH). Pituitary imaging with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is required to assess the size and location of the pituitary adenoma in relation to the surgical landmarks. In a specialized veterinary ...
