Aims: To evaluate the current concepts and trends in treatment of pituitary apoplexy.

Methods: Current literature ragarding of pituitary apoplexy is analyzed. Pituitary apoplexy is a rare clinical syndrome secondary to haemorrhage or infarction. The prevalence is 2-12% of pituitary adenoma patients especially in nonfunctioning tumours but may be found in medically treated adenomas as well. It’s clinical picture is sudden onset of headache with visual disturbances and/or ocular palsy. Meningeal signs and altered consciousness can occur. Corticotropin deficiency if untreated can lead to adrenal insufficiency. Compared to computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging better demonstrates the haemorrhage or even infarction of pituitary adenoma.

Conclusion: Retrospective studies emphasize the wait-and-see management instead of the formerly considered urgent neurosurgical intervention. The indication of intervention should be decided by a team of neurosurgeon, endocrinologist, neuro-radiologist and neuro-ophthalmologist.

Critical role of acquisition and postprocessing in fMRI language mapping

ANDRÁSSY Anita, SZUDI Gábor, VÁRALLYAY Péter

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is crucial for presurgical language mapping in neurosurgery, helping identify eloquent brain regions to preserve during operations. Effective language mapping depends on advanced fMRI acquisition and detailed data analysis to ensure accurate clinical outcomes.

Challenges in surgical repair of endoscopic cerebrospinal fluid leakage

FORGÁCS Gábor, SZALÓKI Tibor, NAGY Gábor, HORVÁTH Barnabás, ENTZ László, KRISTÓF Emese, ERŐSS Loránd, SIPOS László, REISCH Róbert, TAMÁS László

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is an abnormal connection between the subarachnoid space and the extracranial space. CSF leak is typically classified as traumatic, iatrogenic or idiopathic. Many CSF leaks heal on their own, but others require complex surgical repair.

Subclinical acromegaly: case report

EGAS Jennifer, ACOSTA William, VILLENA Maika, LLUMIGUANO Carlos

Acromegaly is an endocrine disorder characterized by hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH), which leads to an overproduction of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) generating typical morphological changes such as an increase in the size of the acral parts. Subclinical acromegaly can be considered as a non-functioning adenoma that is immunopositive for GH in surgical piece or as biochemical acromegaly without clinical stigmata.
