[Changes in the morphological structure of giant prolactinoma during treatment with cabergoline].

Currently, cabergoline therapy is the main method of treatment with prolactin. The use of the drug in most cases leads to tumor regression, normalization of prolactin levels and restoration of gonadotropic function. The mechanism of its impact on tumor cells in vivo, which is dynamically traced in the same human tumor, is the case of considerable interest.

Decrease of Proliferative Potential and Vascular Density of Giant Prolactinoma in Patients Treated with Cabergoline.

Introduction: Currently, cabergoline therapy is the main treatment for prolactinomas. The use of the drug in most cases leads to regression of the tumor, normalization of prolactin (PRL) levels, and restoration of gonadotropic function. The mechanism of its action in tumor cells "" tracked in dynamics in the same human tumor is of considerable interest.

Thyrotropin-secreting pituitary adenoma in an 11-year-old boy with type 1 autoimmune polyglandular syndrome.

Thyrotropinomas (TSHomas) are rare pituitary adenomas, particularly in childhood. We present here the case of an 11-year-old boy with type 1 autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS1) and TSHoma which was diagnosed by elevated thyroid - stimulating hormone and thyroid hormones levels without evident clinical signs of hyperthyroidism. He was underwent partial resection of the tumor via transsphenoidal approach and subsequently radiation therapy.

Postsurgical meningitis complicated by severe refractory intracranial hypertension with limited treatment options: the role of mild therapeutic hypothermia.

Intracranial hypertension is a commonly encountered neurocritical care problem. If first-tier therapy is ineffective, second-tier therapy must be initiated. In many cases, the full arsenal of established treatment options is available.

Intra-abdominal hypertension in patients with sellar region tumors.

Background: Data on intra-abdominal hypertension [IAH] and secondary abdominal compartment syndrome [ACS] due to neurological insults are limited.

Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted between January 2010 and January 2011 in the neurological ICU [NICU]. Forty-one consecutive patients with sellar region tumors [SRT] were enrolled into the study.
