Main Results:

  • Diagnostic tests achieve near 100% sensitivity and specificity.
  • Transsphenoidal surgery remains the primary treatment.
  • Stereotactic radiosurgery shows promise as a curative option, enhanced by MRI localization.

Conclusions:

  • Continued follow-up is essential to evaluate long-term outcomes of stereotactic radiosurgery.
  • Potential morbidities include hypopituitarism and optic neuropathy.
  • Integrated approaches combining surgery, pharmacotherapy, and radiosurgery are key.
