Abstract

Introduction Pituitary tumours may be functioning or non-functioning. Functioning tumours secrete PRL, GH, ACTH, TSH, FSH, LH and have clinical features pertaining to the hormones. We in our study tried to analyze the pre-op and post-op clinicoendocrinological( biochemical) status. Materials and methods Over a span of 10 years from Jan 2010 to Jan 2020 we studied the pre-op and post-op clinical features, radiology (CT, MRI) and endocrine levels of 20 patients with functioning pituitary adenomas. Results Completeness of tumour removal dictates normalization of clinical features and endocrine levels. Microadenomas pose a more remission rate than macroadenomas. Conclusion Total tumour removal in a functioning pituitary adenoma normalizes the clinicoendocrinological parameters. Normalization rates are far more for microadenomas than macroadenomas.
