Background Patients with visual loss from macroadenomas compressing their optic apparatus may also have concomitant age-related visual pathology such as cataracts. How these two pathologies interact with each other is not well documented. Objective The interaction between these two pathologies in elderly patients is the subject of this study. Methods We identified a series of non-functioning macroadenoma...
Purpose To describe the clinical, radiographic and surgical outcomes in a cohort of patients with BRAF V600E mutant papillary craniopharyngiomas. Methods A retrospective review was performed to identify all patients with a histological diagnosis of CP operated upon at a single institution between 2005 and 2017. All cases with adequate material were sequenced to confirm the presence of BRAF V600E...
Purpose Maximum two-dimensional (2D) diameter has been used to define giant pituitary adenoma (GPA) surgery outcomes as has volume using an ellipsoid approximation of volumetrics. Cross sectional length can be measured in several different planes. We sought to compare the accuracy of different 2D cross sectional measurements with the 3D volumetric measurements for predicting GPA surgery outcomes....
Endoscopy in combination with extended approaches allow for resection of large pituitary adenomas via a transsphenoidal route. The objective of the current study was to determine a volumetric threshold for lesions with high perioperative morbidity and high rate of subtotal resection following endonasal endoscopic surgery. Thus, we analyzed a prospectively collected database of 71 patients who underwent...
Giant (>4 cm) pituitary macroadenomas often require surgery to decompress the optic nerves. Compared with traditional open or transsphenoidal microscopic methods, the extended endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach offers the potential for aggressive resection via a minimal access corridor. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to further our understanding of the role of endoscopy...
