Endovascular obliteration of an intracranial pseudoaneurysm: the utility of Onyx.

30 Oct 2009 Pseudoaneurysms are rare lesions with a multitude of causes, including infectious, traumatic, and iatrogenic origins. In addition, there are a number of potential treatment options, all of which require consideration to determine the most ... Read more...

Tumor ZAC1 expression is associated with the response to somatostatin analog therapy in patients with acromegaly.

30 Oct 2009 Somatostatin analogs (SSA) with their potent antisecretory and antiproliferative effects are the main medical treatment option for patients with neuroendocrine tumors, such as gastroenteropancreatic and acromegaly-associated growth hormone secreting ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Pituitary Neoplasms'

Definition: Neoplasms which arise from or metastasize to the PITUITARY GLAND. The majority of pituitary neoplasms are adenomas, which are divided into non-secreting and secreting forms. Hormone producing forms are further classified by the type of hormone they secrete. Pituitary adenomas may also be characterized by their staining properties (see ADENOMA, BASOPHIL; ADENOMA, ACIDOPHIL; and ADENOMA, CHROMOPHOBE). Pituitary tumors may compress adjacent structures, including the HYPOTHALAMUS, several CRANIAL NERVES, and the OPTIC CHIASM. Chiasmal compression may result in bitemporal HEMIANOPSIA.
