January 2025
Background: Primary pituitary abscess is a rare disease with no specific symptoms for pituitary abscess alone. A preoperative diagnosis is quite challenging due to unclear imaging findings.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a patient with a pituitary lesion who presented with hypopituitarism, diabetes insipidus, and visual field defect and was misdiagnosed as a possible cystic pituitary adenoma.
Background: Current guidelines recommend dopamine agonists (DA) as the primary therapeutic approach for prolactinomas; however, emerging evidence suggests that surgical intervention can also yield favorable outcomes.
Objective: To comprehensively evaluate prolactinoma patients undergoing surgical and medical treatments at our pituitary center.
Methods: Retrospective review of mMedical records from prolactinoma patients treated between 2015 and 2022 was performedwere retrospectively reviewed.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on creating machine learning algorithms to differentiate between types of ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome using biochemical and radiological data.
- The research involved 106 patients and used logistic regression, achieving an average diagnostic accuracy of 86% and an AUROC value of 0.850.
- Key factors influencing the model's output included specific test results and characteristics of pituitary adenomas, and the developed algorithm is accessible to clinicians for practical use.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between hypercortisolism and temporal muscle thickness (TMT) in Cushing's disease (CD).
Methods: A retrospective review of medical records was conducted for patients with CD who presented to our clinic between 2012 and 2022. Biochemical data and TMT measurements from sella imaging were evaluated during diagnosis and the first postoperative year.
Objective: Investigate the changes in the characteristics of presentation, in patients with acromegaly over a period of approximately half a century.
Methods: The medical records of patients diagnosed with acromegaly between 1980 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. The collected data were examined to assess any changes observed over the years and a comparison was made between the characteristics of patients diagnosed in the last decade and those diagnosed in previous years.
