Article Synopsis
- * A case of a 52-year-old male with visual disturbances led to the discovery of a PA during surgery, where pus was drained and Staphylococcus aureus was cultured; he successfully recovered after 12 weeks of antibiotics.
- * Diagnosis of PA is challenging due to non-specific symptoms, but early recognition and treatment, including surgery and antibiotics, generally result in positive outcomes.
Background: Transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) remains the treatment of choice for non-functioning pituitary macroadenomas (NFPMA). The value of measuring tumour volumes before and after surgery, and its influence on endocrine outcomes and further treatment of the residual or recurrent tumour are unknown.
Methods: Data from patients who underwent endoscopic TSS for a NFPMA (2009-2018) in a UK tertiary centre were analysed for pre- and post-operative endocrine and surgical outcomes.
Background: A 10-year (2005-2015) retrospective case series of patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy for malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (mMCAI) was undertaken.
Methods: Patient demographics, comorbidities, pre- and postoperative neurologic state, operative timescales, craniectomy dimensions, and Glasgow Outcome Scale scores were analyzed.
Results: Overall 40 patients underwent a decompressive craniectomy for mMCAI with a 30-day mortality of 17.
