Fsrt for Pituitary Macroadenomas
The use of fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) has evolved with technical advances in noninvasive immobilization, radiation delivery, and image guidance. The application of FSRT to pituitary tumours is aimed at reducing toxicity through improved dose conformality and reduced treatment margins. The aim of the present paper is to report our own experience and to review the published dat...
متن کاملPreoperative location of the pituitary bright spot in patients with pituitary macroadenomas.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the location of the pituitary bright spot in patients with pituitary macroadenomas before surgery. METHODS A total of 54 patients with pituitary macroadenomas were retrospectively included in this study. Nonenhanced spin-echo T1-weighted MR images were reviewed to identify the location of the high-intensity-signal posterior pit...

متن کاملTransient monocular visual loss patterns and associated vascular abnormalities.
To determine if certain transient monocular visual loss patterns predict the associated vascular abnormalities, we prospectively evaluated 100 consecutive patients. Each patient had hematologic tests, a carotid artery study (arteriography in 74, duplex ultrasonography in the remaining 26), and an ophthalmologic examination. Patients with altitudinal or lateralized transient monocular visual los...
متن کاملCushing's disease: a comparison of pituitary corticotroph microadenomas and macroadenomas.
Cushing's disease appears as a functionally heterogeneous disease, but criteria that are able to distinguish between different clinical forms remain elusive. We compared two subgroups of patients with proven Cushing's disease according to the size of the pituitary adenoma, evaluated by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Our series comprised 11 patients with a microadenoma and 10...
