摘要: When there is clinical suspicion of a pituitary tumor, localization the tumor and representation relation to adjacent structures by imaging are prerequisite in establishing indication for surgery planning operative strategy. Usually, large tumors do not give rise problems CT diagnosis, especially since they will already have led dilatation sella at this stage extended suprasellar region (12, 15). However, very tiny hormone-producing (ACTH- GH-producing adenomas, prolactinomas) microadenomas, relapses, remnants cannot always be localized unequivocally adeno-hypophysis or former area operation (3, 5, 6, 8, 11, 17).
