    Surgically removing prolactin-secreting pituitary microadenomas effectively treated 20 patients with amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome. This approach addressed hyperprolactinemia and subtle sellar changes indicative of these tumors.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Prolactin-secreting pituitary microadenomas cause amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome and hyperprolactinemia.
    • Radiological sellar modifications, even with normal sella size, can indicate microadenomas.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of selective surgical removal for prolactin-secreting pituitary microadenomas.

    Main Methods:

    • Selective surgical removal was performed on 20 patients.
    • Diagnosis was based on hyperprolactinemia and hypocycloidal tomography findings showing subtle sellar changes.

    Main Results:

    • Successful surgical removal of prolactin-secreting pituitary microadenomas was achieved in all 20 patients.

  • The treatment addressed the amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome and hyperprolactinemia.

    • Conclusions:

    • Selective surgical removal is an effective treatment for prolactin-secreting pituitary microadenomas.
    • Hyperprolactinemia and specific sellar tomography findings are key indicators for surgical intervention.
