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...
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...
Surgical resection constitutes the first line treatment for pituitary adenomas except for prolactinomas which typically respond well to pharmacological therapy. Pituitary adenomas are generally resected via a tanssphenoidal approach. Using endoscopic technique a gross total resection is typically achieved in 90% of microadenomas (diameter < 1 cm). Surgical resection of pituitary macroadenomas (diameter...
