Diagnosis of pituitary adenoma abroad

Treatment of pituitary adenoma abroad involves a thorough examination of the patient, studying his medical history, general well-being, and physical parameters. It is worth noting that in some cases, the symptoms of this disease may not be present at all.

For the most accurate detection of the disease, foreign specialists prescribe the following diagnostic measures::

•  urinalysis — allows you to measure the level of secretions of certain hormones of the pituitary gland;
• Blood test — determines the level of sugar and other underlying conditions that can cause symptoms of pituitary adenoma;
• vision research;
• An MRI scan allows you to take pictures of the pituitary gland, find out the exact location and size of the tumor.

Treatment of pituitary adenoma abroad

Treatment of pituitary adenoma abroad depends on the size of the neoplasm, the level of hormone production, the patient's age and general health.

Drug therapy balances the hormonal background and relieves the patient's condition, but either surgery or radiation therapy is performed to remove the adenoma.

Treatment of pituitary adenoma abroad involves the use of endoscopic endonasal intervention – this procedure allows you to eliminate the neoplasm through the nasal passages. This method of treatment gives practically no complications.

To get to very large tumors, foreign specialists use minimally invasive keyhole craniotomy — opening the scalp through a small incision in the eyebrow area.  

Treatment of pituitary adenoma abroad also involves the use of radiosurgery, in particular a Cyber or Gamma knife. This method allows you to destroy the neoplasm without affecting the tissues located nearby.
