The specific features of endonasal transsphenoidal approach in surgical treatment of pituitary adenoma

Abstract: Benign pituitary gland tumors (or adenomas) constitute the vast majority of all chiasmosellar tumors. There are various approaches in surgical treatment of the sella turcica pathology. Endonasal transsphenoidal approach is the method of preference. Choosing the approach to the skull base, the surgeon should carefully study the results of magnetic resonance imaging and computer-aided tomography. If there are anatomic features preventing the approach to the operated area, first of all the patient undergoes the c… Show more

“…The nasal endoscopy and computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses cannot be informative in case of small defect. In such cases, when it is not possible to determine the source of liquorrhea by the previous research methods, they resort to CT cisternography [5] or MRI cisternography [6]. The first method of analysis is the most sensitive, it can detect the definitely localization of a bone defect in 87% of cases [6].…”

“…In such cases, when it is not possible to determine the source of liquorrhea by the previous research methods, they resort to CT cisternography [5] or MRI cisternography [6]. The first method of analysis is the most sensitive, it can detect the definitely localization of a bone defect in 87% of cases [6]. The typical localization of the cerebrospinal fluid fistula is: the ethmoid plate, the posterior and lateral walls of the sphenoid sinus [7], especially the lateral wall and the cribriforme plate [8].…”
