ABSTRACT

Relevance. Non functioning pituitary adenomas (NFA) are the most common pituitary lesions after prolactinomas. The absence of clinical symptoms of hormonal hypersecretion may contribute to the late diagnosis of the disease. Thus, most patients go to the doctor for signs and symptoms arising from massive exposure, such as neuro-ophthalmological symptoms and hypopituitarism, pituitary apoplexy.[3] Tumor mass effect and hypopituitarism cause high morbidity and mortality. However, early diagnosis and effective treatment minimize morbidity and mortality. In this article, our goal was to diagnose and treat patients with NFA in a timely manner, emphasizing that treatment should be carried out on an outpatient basis and in medical centers. This article is based on data published in the literature and on the experience of the authors.[4]
