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.
Aim: To examine the fiber-based anatomy of the medial pontine area (MPA), one of the most commonly used brainstem (BS) safe entry zones in neurosurgery.
Material And Methods: According to the protocol of Klingler and Ludwig, six BSs were kept in 10% formalin solution for at least 2 months. After removing the arachnoid mater, pia mater, and vascular structures, the samples were frozen at -16°C for at least 2 weeks.
Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the relationship between temporal muscle thickness and GH/IGF-1 elevation and the effect of acromegaly treatment on temporal muscle thickness.
Methods: Patients with acromegaly and healthy controls were included in the study. While laboratory parameters, clinical findings and temporal muscle thickness of acromegaly patients at the time of diagnosis and one year after treatment were evaluated, laboratory parameters and temporal muscle thickness of healthy controls were evaluated only during the period when they were included in the study.
Purpose: The alteration of the microbiota in the mouth and gut could potentially play a role in the pathogenesis of various diseases, and conversely, these diseases may have an influence on the composition of the gut microbiota. Acromegaly disease can potentially affect physiological processes in the mouth and gut. The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between acromegaly and the oral and gut microbiota, as data on this topic are scarce.

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.
