Hello All. This is Dr Skanda Moorthy, Neurosurgeon by profession.
While treatment of choice in most of the pituitary adenoma is surgical excision (Either Transnasal or Transcranial),
In this video let us discuss about the Non surgical management options in Pituitary adenoma. It is the treatment of choice in one of the varieties of Pituitary adenoma called as Prolactinoma.

  • Hello- my father (80) has had recurring headache/vertigo (he had ear issues) and became worse last couple of months which promoted MRI scan- report just details enlarged pituitary is 14x14mm w few necrotic foci but no supersellar extension. , no invasion etc. He had recent blood tests- normal, he has had no vision problems either. Will be taking him to specialist soon but curious about your take.

    ➤ Superior margin of the pituitary gland is convex / elevated (2mm) with well defined rounded enhancing lesion (~9x7mm) in the central aspect of pituitary gland and the lesion is extending into the suprasellar region, not abutting the optic chiasm. The infundibulum is centrally located. Findings are suggestive of - Pituitary macroadenoma....sir av surgery ki jarurat hai kya...hormone profile normal hai

    I am 35 years old man. My prolactin levels stays above 50 and go upto 100 also. My testosterone level stay below limit always even though i do regular exercise. In initial 02 MRI reports, my pituitary was normal only. In recent MRI, they are saying likely to have microadenema but not sure. Carbelin 0.25 mg bring my prolactin level down but not the testosterone level up. Once i stop medicine both goes in abnormal conditions. Since last 14 years i am looking for solution but i am not. Sir can you please suggest anything

    Thank you for sharing this, I’ve had a Microadenoma result on an MRI and prolactin above 2000, just waiting on Neurosurgical appointment, would you know of any Alternatives to the medications, such as Natural?
  • Hallo Dr. thank you so much for the informations. I have just a question about a case. A female patient 17 years old complaining of amenohrria since 3-4 years as well as polyuria and polydepsia and sometimes headaches. Her prolactin hormones are slightly elevated 1130 mIU/L, FSH and LH are zeros. A brain MRI shows Pituitary stalk thickness of 6,3mm and increased to 6,7 mm within 6 months. We did all possible blood tests and they were all normal. Please tell me what is your opinion and what should we do? Thank you so much in advance
  • @Health and Wellness,I've been diagnosed microadenoma(prolactinoma) last month,and the size is 0.5centimeter,and the doctor gave me a cabergoline good for 1 month,1 pill weekly,I want to know it is possible for shrinking the tumor?
  • Hello I just found this video… I was diagnosed with a macroadenoma but we are not sure if it’s a prolactinoma or not because the size of the tumor is 11mm and prolactin levels 100. I’m not sure if surgery it’s better or medication… Please help me figure this out. Thank you!
  • Had macro pituitary adenoma and had very successful excision of the tumor. Everything is back to normal, my sight and hormones are normal.
