Protective Strategies for Pituitary Function During Endoscopic Transnasal Pituitary Adenoma Surgery: A Single-center Experience.

J Craniofac Surg

November 2024

Department of Neurosurgery, Pituitary Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Research Center, The First Affiliated Hospital Shenzhen University, Shenzhen Second People's Hospital, Shenzhen, China.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study examined the effects of endoscopic transnasal pituitary adenoma surgery on pituitary function and aimed to identify factors that influence postoperative outcomes.
  • - An analysis of 306 patients' data revealed varying rates of postoperative hypopituitarism among different hormone axes, with the pituitary-thyroid and adrenal axes showing higher incidence rates post-surgery.
  • - Results indicated that larger tumors (giant adenomas) had a significantly greater impact on adrenal function, while no substantial difference in new hypopituitarism rates was observed after surgery between different tumor sizes.

We describe the case of a young immunocompetent woman with disseminated TB who presented with primary complaints of amenorrhea and dysuria. Abdominal ultrasound showed a uterine cervical mass, which on histopathological evaluation revealed epithelioid granulomata with Langhans giant cells and acid-fast bacilli (AFB).
