Pituitary tumours

Abstract

This report describes the presentation, pre-operative findings, surgical management and follow-up results of 20 pediatric patients with pituitary adenomas. The most common presenting complaints encountered were, headache and decrease in visual acuity. Among the patients with endocrine problems, majority had frank Cushing's disease (30%). Nine patients (45%) were endocrinally normal. The most common, histological type of pituitary tumour encountered in this series was the Chromophobe adenoma. One patient died following surgery. Radiation therapy was given in all post operative cases. Response to radiation therapy has been satisfactory on follow up. The generally encouraging results we have observed following the multi-disciplinary treatment, confirms the findings reported by other workers.
