Surgical treatment of complex pituitary adenomas (PAs) presents a significant challenge. Here in, we compared the surgical outcomes between patients undergoing endoscope-assisted transcranial surgery and microscopic regimens to assess the safety and efficacy of endoscope-assisted transcranial surgery in treating complex PA. This retrospective case-control study was conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, China.

Background: Adamantinomatous craniopharyngiomas (ACPs) are slow-growing, cystic, highly morbid central nervous system tumors located adjacent to vital structures including the pituitary, hypothalamus, and optic chiasm. Tumor recurrence is common. Treatment relies on resection with or without adjuvant radiation and is highly individualized.

Radiation has been used to treat meningiomas since the mid-1970s. Traditionally, radiation was reserved for patients unfit for major surgery or those with surgically inaccessible tumors. With an increased quantity and quality of imaging, and an aging population, there has been a rise in incidentally diagnosed meningiomas with smaller tumors at diagnosis time.

Introduction: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is one of the treatment options for the management of residual or recurrent secreting pituitary adenomas (PA). While the role of radiosurgery (RS) by Gamma Knife (GK) has been clearly established, Cyberknife (CK) RS has been evaluated in fewer series.

Material And Methods: To perform a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis, with the aim of focusing on the effect of CK RS on secreting PA.

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.
