Objective To study the methods and techniques of the treatment forextensive suprasellar pituitary adenona and repairing hole.Methods From Feb. 2001 to Mar. 2003, 9 patients with exrensive suporasellar pituitary adenoma underwent resection via suprabital keyhole with endoscope-assisted microneurosurgery. Then the remaining tumor was removed with neuroendoscope via Ⅰand Ⅱ space of optic chiasma. The small bone flap was fixed with Ti clamp. Results After the tumor was removed with microneurosurgery, the remaining tumor was still found with endoscope in 7 cases. Remaining tumor was totally removed in 6 cases, almost removed in 3 cases. The vision improvement was found in 7 cases one week after surgery. In the other 2 cases, the vision remained unchanged. Follow-up was conducted in 6 cases for 6 to 22 months. Neuroradiological recovery of MRI with no recurrence of tumor was observed. No complication of incision was present. Conclusion Enough intra and extra-cranial space can be provided to operate via orbital roof approach to sellar tumors. Endoscope-assisted microneurosurgery can increase the total-resection and successful rate treatment for extensive suprasellar pituitary adenoma, reduce the possibility of complication, and pretect the function of brain from being injured. Fixation of small bone flap with Ti clamp is safe, easy and reliable.
Objective To observe the results of function MRI and perimetry in patients with visual pathway diseases.Methods Three patients (6 eyes) with pituitary adenoma and craniopharyngioma diagnosed via pathological examination and three healthy volunteers aged from 24 to 30 were collected. The best corrected visual acuity was nonlight perception1.0 in the 6 sick eyes and 1.0 in the healthy eyes; all the involved individuals had no other ocular diseases except myopia and without any contraindications of MRI. Common tests including the best visual acuity, fundus test by direct or indirect ophthalmoscope, center static visual field tested by Octopus 101 perimeter, program 32, tendency oriented perimetry were performed. The visual stimulation subtended a field of view of about 12 degrees，consisted of high contrast and drifting checkerboards. MRI parameters: GE signa VH/i 30T scanner. Functional data: GRE-EPI sequence，20 slices lying perpendicular to the calcarine sulcus. Anatomical data was obtained using 3DSPGR sequence to acquire high resolution. The cortical surface was unfolded and then cut and inflated. Functional data was presented to the inflated surface and subsequently analyzed by AFNI software.Results In six eyes, three had temporal defects, two had upper temporal visual field defects, and the other one did not finish the visual field test. The retinotopic representations of health adults were obtained by using the phaseencoded visual stimulation. The Eccentricity coordinate maps showed that foveal representations lay in the occipital poles and the representations appeared further anterior as eccentricity increased. The polar angle coordinate maps showed that early retinotopically organized areas had a representation of visual field. The visual cortex beneath the calcarine sulcus matched with the upper visual field of the opposite side and which upon the calcarine sulcus matched with the under visual field of the opposite side. Less or no visual cortex response was revealed in the patients′ function MRI or the response in injury side was vanished. The visual cortex response related with the visual field defects could not be induced in function MRI.Conclusion There is a good correlation between function MRI data and the results of perimetric evaluation. The function MRI can show the visual cortex response correlated with the visual field defects of the patients with visual pathway diseases.
Objective To analyze the central visual fields and the ocular fundus changes of both eyes of patients with pituitary adenoma.Methods A total of 70 cases of pituitary adenoma received the examination of static central visual fields of all-liminal values by Humphrey instruments 750 cycloscope and the fundus exams by Topcon TRC-50X fundus photography before operations. Results There were 64.3% patients with decreased visual acuities, 80.7% with the defect of visual field, and 46 .4% with fundus changes. The decrease of the visual acuity was the first diagnostic symptom in 45.7% patients, among whom 28.6% were misdiagnosed as ocular diseases.Conclusions The misdiagnosed cause is that the first diagnostic symptom is the decrease of visual acuity without defect of visual field accompanied by ocular diseases. To avoid the misdiagnosis and the omitter of pituitary adenoma, general examination of visual field should be carried out in the patients with decreased visual acuity and optic atrophy with unknown reason in the clinical diagnosis of ophthalmology.

Methods Forty-nine patients diagnosed to have interstitial pregnancy between January 2007 and June 2010 were randomly divided into observation group (24 cases) and control group (25 cases). Patients in the observation group were given an injection of 6 U pituitrin in the horn of uterus before the incision of lesions in laparoscopy, and operation was performed after uterine contraction; while the lesions of patients in the control group were directly incised. The differences between the two groups in operation time, blood loss during the operation, blood pressure, exhaust time and temperature were studied and the recovery time of menstrual period was followed up. Results The operation time of the observation group and the control group was (34.29±7.96) minutes and (53.68±10.48) minutes; the blood loss was (48.04±9.49) mL and (85.52±15.24) mL, respectively. The difference in the operation time and blood loss between the two groups was significant (Plt;0.05). The difference in other indexes between the two groups such as the exhaust time, postoperative body temperature, the blood pressure before operation and within five minutes after the incision of the lesion was not statistical (Pgt;0.05). The recovery time of menstrual period in the two groups was 30 to 41 days. Conclusion Using pituitrin in laparoscopy for interstitial pregnancy can significantly shorten operation time and reduce blood loss, and will not increase the incidence rate of persistent ectopic pregnancy.
【摘要】 患者为老年男性,反复出现恶心、呕吐、乏力、低钠、低钾血症, 3次住院。对其恶心呕吐原因,曾考虑是否有抗高血压药物吲哒帕胺所引起,或是老年人摄入不足,电解质紊乱所致低钠低钾血症。最后考虑该患者低钠血症系垂体前叶功能减退所致。MRI检查显示空蝶鞍。空鞍的原因尚不清楚,空鞍综合征也是垂体前叶功能减退的因素之一。此症尽管很少见,但随着CT、MRI这些高新设备的普遍使用及人口老龄化,会发现更多的病例,也对我们诊断治疗提供了有力的依据。【Abstract】The patient’s condition: old male patient with repeat nausea, vomitus, hypodynamia, low sodium and kaliopenia. Three times to be in hospital. First, we consider that indapamide resuted low sodium and Kaliopemia,but we discovered that the anterior pituitay gland hypofunction. MRI show that empty sella turcica. The reason of empty is not clear,the saddle syndrome is also a factor of pituitary function before the leaves falling off. The disease was rare,but with common use of CT,MRI and aging,we will discover many more cases to provide power evidence for diagnosis and treatment.
