巨大下垂体腺腫の1手術例

An Operated Case of Giant Pituitary Adenoma

Ⅰ．はじめに

　最近，われわれは，鞍外進展の著しい，巨大な下垂体腺腫の摘出成功例を経験したので，手術手技を中心に，若干の考察を加えて報告する．

A case of giant pituitary adenoma was reported. The patient was a 47-year-old man with visual disturbance. CT scan revealed the huge tumor, about 6 cm in diameter, at the ruidportion over the sella turcica, extending to the frontal, temporal, posterior and hypothalamic region. Total resection of the tumor was successfully carried out and the difficult post operative complications were overcome.
