Pituitary adenoma and incidental superior hypophyseal aneurysm

Abstract

In patients with pituitary adenomas, intra-cranial aneurysms can be an incidental finding, and are usually located outside the pituitary region. The authors describe the multi-modal management of a rare case of an aneurysm of the supraclinoid carotid that encroached into a pituitary macroadenoma.

Key words:

• Pituitary adenoma
