Overview

Pituitary adenomas constitute 10–15% of intracranial tumours. At present, a combination of medical, neurosurgical and radiosurgical modalities is applied to treat them. Successful treatment requires close collaboration between an endocrinologist, neurosurgeon and radiosurgeon. The authors present a series of 80 consecutive cases of pituitary adenoma treated, in cooperation with an otorhinolaryngologist, with endoscopic endonasal surgery. Nineteen secreting adenomas and 61 non-secreting tumours were treated. 70% of adenomas were macroadenomas. A follow up MRI after three months showed radical surgery in 76%. Morbidity and mortality results of this series are similar to other larger published series.

Key words:
pituitary adenoma – endonasal endo-scopic surgery – endocrinology

The authors declare they have no potential conflicts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study.

The Editorial Board declares that the manu­script met the ICMJE “uniform requirements” for biomedical papers.
