Abstract Giant (> 4 cm) pituitary macroadenomas often require surgery to decompress the
optic nerves. Compared with traditional open or transsphenoidal microscopic methods, the …

Little data exists comparing endoscopic endonasal approaches to pathology of the anterior
skull base with more traditional transcranial and transsphenoidal microscopic approaches …

Object. The direct endonasal approach performed with the aid of an operating microscope
for removal of pituitary tumors has the potential advantage over the traditional sublabial …

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study is to analyze the nature, extensions, and dural
relationships of hormonally inactive giant pituitary tumors. The relevance of the anatomic …

OBJECTIVE: Giant pituitary adenomas, defined as those measuring at least 4 cm in
maximum diameter, are a therapeutic challenge. We report our experience in a large …

Object. Giant prolactinomas are rare tumors whose treatment and outcome has only been
addressed in isolated case reports. The authors document the long-term follow-up findings …

OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: We present a case of a giant prolactinoma with a falsely
low serum prolactin concentration determined by a two-site chemiluminometric assay …

Although most pituitary neoplasms are benign, some grow rapidly, spreading to extrasellar
tissues. Definition of these'giant'pituitary adenomas (PAs) is not clear. In order to clarify this …

BACKGROUND We evaluated the feasibility and therapeutic effectiveness of
transsphenoidal microsurgical removal of nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas with …

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of patients with giant pituitary tumours (GPTs) who
underwent a purely binasal endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (BETS) and compare their …
