Introduction: Macroprolactinomas are the most frequent subtype of pituitary adenomas. Their treatment has been improved since the onset of dopamin agonists (DA). Nevertheless, DA can cause a cerebospinal fluid (CSF) leakage by shrinking the tumor and lead to a bacterial meningitis.

Purpose: Pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET), excluding prolactinoma, often requires endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES). Identifying predictive factors for complications, and particularly rare ones such as hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) that may affect fertility, is challenging. This study investigated de-novo postoperative HH and its potential impact on fertility.

Prolactinomas are commonly treated with dopamine receptor agonists (DAs), such as bromocriptine (BRC) and cabergoline (CAB). However, 10-30% of patients exhibit resistance to DA therapies. DA resistance is largely associated with reduced dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) expression, potentially regulated by epigenetic modifications, though the underlying mechanisms are still unclear.

Objective: Determining the etiology of hyperprolactinemia is fundamental for selecting the most appropriate treatment strategy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness and accuracy of prolactin levels in predicting the etiology of nonphysiological hyperprolactinemia.
Subjects And Methods: In this retrospective study, we reviewed medical records of patients with nonphysiological hyperprolactinemia seen at two neuroendocrine reference centers located in Recife, Brazil, from January 2000 to December 2019.
