Retrospective Analysis of Cushing's Disease with or without Hyperprolactinemia.

Objective. We compared the characteristics of patients with Cushing's disease alone with those of patients with Cushing's disease and hyperprolactinemia. Methods.

Characteristics of mixed prolactin and adrenocorticotropin secreting pituitary adenomas and the differences in patients with merely prolactin-secreting adenomas.

Objective: To evaluate the characteristics of pituitary adenomas that produce both prolactin and adrenocorticotropin.

Methods: Between 2002 and 2011, we reviewed the data of 336 patients undergoing transsphenoidal surgery at Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University, Jinan, China. Patients were divided into 2 subgroups: patients with mixed prolactin and adrenocorticotropin secreting adenomas, and patients with merely prolactin-secreting adenomas.

Transsphenoidal pseudocapsule-based extracapsular resection for pituitary adenomas.

Background: In the past several years, increasing attention has been paid to the utility of a pseudocapsule in transphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas. However, prior studies focused more on the histological structure of the pseudocapsule and surgical technique. The objective of this study was to evaluate the overall therapeutic effectiveness of transsphenoidal pseudocapsule-based extracapsular resection for pituitary adenomas.

[Microsurgical treatment of proximal anterior cerebral artery aneurysms].

Objective: To explore clinic characteristics of proximal anterior cerebral artery aneurysms and analyzed operative techniques.

Methods: A review was performed of a total of 362 patients whose aneurysms were surgically treated from June 1995 to December 2003, the morbidity of A(1) aneurysms was 2.2%.

[Surgical treatment of gliomas involving the supplementary motor area in the superior frontal gyrus].

Objective: To explore surgical treatment of gliomas involving the supplementary motor area (SMA) in the superior frontal gyrus.

Methods: Clinical data and follow-up outcome of 16 patients with low graded astrocytomas involving the supplementary motor area were analyzed.

Results: SMA syndrome was developed in 6 patients in whom the posterior tumor resection line was at a distance of more than 1 cm from the precentral sulcus and resolved after 12 months.

[Microsurgical treatment of the clinoid and para-clinoid ICA aneurysms].

Objective: To explore the microsurgical treatment of the clinoid and para-clinoid ICA aneurysms we analyzed operative techniques, outcome, and indication.

Methods: Clinical data and follow-up outcome of 10 the clinoid and para-clinoid ICA patients were reviewed. In this study there were 3 patients with clinoid ICA aneurysms, five with ophthalmic aneurysms, two with superior hypophyseal aneurysms and one with posterior ICA wall aneurysm.
