Purpose: The endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) has become the preferred treatment for pituitary tumors, with minimal sinonasal morbidity. However, patients with Cushing's disease (CD) may represent a subgroup with prolonged impairment of sinonasal quality of life (QOL).
Methods: We retrospectively identified patients with CD who underwent EEA at our institution.
Article Synopsis
- Giant pituitary prolactinomas can cause rare but severe symptoms, such as acute hypoglossal nerve palsy and neurological decline, as highlighted in a case study of a 62-year-old woman with such a condition.
- The patient experienced a syncopal episode and difficulties with speech and swallowing, leading to imaging that identified a giant apoplectic pituitary tumor.
- Urgent surgery to decompress and reduce the tumor resulted in significant improvement in her symptoms, demonstrating the potential benefits of timely surgical intervention and the need for ongoing monitoring.
