  1. Pituitary Adenomas WWW.DRSATISHRUDRAPPA.COM

  2. WHAT IS PITUITARY ADENOMA? The pituitary gland is located near the base of the brain. The gland indirectly, through other glands, controls many functions of our bodies. A tumor that has developed in the pituitary gland is called a Pituitary adenoma.

  3. SYMPTOMS OF PITUITARY ADENOMA Hormones regulate many important body functions and physical processes. A pituitary adenoma results in an imbalance in hormone production. The tumor either causes over-production of hormones or their under-production.

  4. RESULTS OF OVER-PRODUCTION • Disruption in the menstrual cycle in women   • Lowering of testosterone levels in men and loss of sexual appetite • Some adults may suffer from acromegaly, in which the bones increase in size, including those of the hands, feet, and face • In children, it occurs as gigantism, which causes growth of hands and feet in spurts • Unexplained weight gain • Muscle weakness and easy bruising of the skin

  5. RESULTS OF UNDER-PRODUCTION • Reduced hormones also cause loss of sex drive in men • Infertility in women • Hypothyroidism, which leads to loss of appetite, fatigue and decreased activity of the brain  • Adrenal inadequacy, which can cause low blood pressure, electrolyte abnormalities and also fatigue • Insufficient growth hormones, which can cause delayed onset of puberty in teenagers and loss of muscle mass in adults

  6. AFFECTING OTHER NERVES IN THE BRAIN As with proper brain tumors, the growth of a pituitary adenoma puts pressure on surrounding nerve tissues. When it affects the optic nerve, it can lead to loss of full vision or peripheral vision and other optical problems. A vision test can determine how pressure is being applied to the optic nerve by the growth of the adenoma.

  7. TREATMENT OF PITUITARY ADENOMAS Treatment can target the symptoms of the tumor-like those associated with hormonal imbalance by simple medication, usually by a neuro-endocrinologist to stabilize hormone levels. In extreme cases, malicious growth would have to be reduced or removed with non-invasive surgery. Stereotactic surgery is a form of radiotherapy, which can be an effective surgical intervention for pituitary adenoma.
