14-NOVEMBER-2015  AZZAM MUHAMED KURDI  60 YEARS  PITUITARY MIXED PROLACTINOMA WITH LEFT SUPRA AND RIGHT PARASELLAR EXTENSION.

 

Anamnesis

bullet

The patient is a doctor of psychiatry came 11-November-2015 complaining of general weakness and fainting attacks for 4 years and diagnosed as having prolactinoma. He is diabetic for 10 years with hypertension for 20 years. Signs of panhypopituitarism were found and treated with L-thyroxin, testosterone and Dystinox 1/2 tab every 2 days. MRI sella done 29-December-2013 and repeated 14-October-2015 showing the macroadenona is progressing in size and start to compress the optic chiasm from the left and right parasellar extension. The patient noticed visual disturbances of the left eye the last 3 months. PRL level was 6.3 µIU/ml performed 14-October-2015.

bullet

The patient was sent for investigations and MRI done 11-November-2015 showing the pituitary adenoma and the MRA showed the relation of the vascular relation to the mass.

Transsphenoidal approach guided with the C-arm until the anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus reached through the right nostril. The floor of the sella turcica was partially removed to reach the tumor. The tumor is soft in consistency and it was sent for histologic verification. The tumor was removed trying to preserve the pituitary gland, which is actually the tumor capsule. The eroded dorsum sella was seen. A cavity was obtained inside to pituitary gland.  MRI control showed remnant of the tumor at the left side. This part was removed and further removal of the tumor was obtained. 2 Eonmedltech nasal packs with tubes were inserted and another control MRI was performed. The almost radically removed, but packs are directed toward the tumor. They were removed and reinserted to the pharyngio-nasal cavity. The patient then was extubated.

Smooth postoperative recovery. The patient was sent to the ward.

 

 

Comments  

bullet

The tumor is not responding to Dystinox , which means that it is not a pure prolactinoma. The earlier the resection the better the outcome.

bullet

Intraoperative MRI not only confirm the radical removal of the tumor, but also detect other events such as misdirection of the nasal tubes, which were corrected accordingly.

Skyra MRI with all clinical applications in the run since 28-Novemeber-2013.


Inomed Riechert-Mundinger System, with three point fixation is the most accurate system in the market. The microdrive and its sensor gives feed back about the localization.
