    Transsphenoidal surgery for sellar region tumors is traditionally done only by neurosurgeons. The use of endoscopes has permitted a direct transnasal approach to the sphenoidal sinus, without dissection of the septal mucosa, reducing postoperative morbidity. AIM: The purpose of this study was to assess the technical difficulties, and per and postoperative complications of the otolaryngological management of the endoscopic transnasal approach to the sellar region. MATERIAL AND METHOD: 159 patients undergoing sellar region surgery between March 2001 and December 2006 were assessed retrospectively. 91 patients who underwent 95 endoscopic transnasal procedures were included in this study. Study design: a clinical retrospective study. RESULTS: The endoscopic transnasal technique was feasible for every patient, independent of age, anatomical variations, tumor characteristics, tumor etiology, and previous surgical history. There was no need to remove the middle turbinate or septal deviations in any of the cases. The most significant peroperative complication was CSF leak during tumor removal (13.68%). Postoperative complications were: nasal bleeding (8.42%), CSF leak (8.42%), and meningitis (2.19). CONCLUSION: The transnasal endoscopic approach was accomplished with minimal invasion, preserving nasal structures in all 95 procedures, independent of age, anatomical variations, tumor characteristics,tumor etiology, and previous surgical history.

    Cirurgia endoscópica transnasal da região selar: estudo dos primeiros 100 casos
    (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 2003-09-01) Gondim, Jackson [UNIFESP]; Schops, Michele [UNIFESP]; Tella Jr, Oswaldo I. [UNIFESP]; Hospital Geral de Fortaleza; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    An endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach to the sella was performed in 100 consecutive patients, with a follow up from 3 to 55 months: 57 females and 43 males, age ranging from 14 and 70 years. 76 cases pituitary adenomas: 22 were acromegaly (7 microadenomas and 15 macroadenomas); 21 null cell adenomas (3 microadenomas and 18 macroadenomas); 19 Cushing disease (11 microadenomas and 8 macroadenomas), 10 prolactinomas (6 microadenomas and 4 macroadenomas), and 4 LH adenomas (4 macroadenomas). In this serie, remission was achieved in 44.8% for macroadenomas, 60% for acromegaly, 27.7% for null cell adenoma, 50% for Cushing disease, 50% for prolactinomas and 50% for LH adenomas, and 81.4% for microadenomas 85% for acromegaly, 100% for null cell adenoma, 81.8% for Cushing disease, 66% for prolactinoma. We had also four craniopharyngiomas, four sphenoidal mucocele, three sphenoidal aspergillus, one Rathke cyst, one hypophysitis, one cavernous aneurysm, one encefalocele, one intrasellar meningioma, one intrasellar tuberculoma and a sphenoid fibrous dysplasia. In this series we also had six fistulas of the anterior base that were completely cured. We had a mortality of 2, one null cell giant adenoma in a 57 years old man and another patient, 38 years old, with a giant craniopharyngioma. The morbidity was: two cured meningitis, three cured fistulas, and two permanent diabetes insipidus. Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery in this series resulted with comparable surgical outcomes to conventional microscopic transsphenoidal surgery. The advantages of this technique have been represented by an easier access to the lesion, better visualisation and increased illumination of the surgical sites, microdissection of the tumor with maximum preservation of the pituitary function, and reduction of hospitalization times and coasts. The main limits have been the reduction of field depth, constant need of manual control of the endoscope, and required experience of the endoscope technique.

    Pituitary tumor apoplexy
    (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 2009-06-01) Chang, Claudia V.; Felício, André Carvalho [UNIFESP]; Toscanini, Andrea Cecilia; Teixeira, Manoel Jacobsen; Cunha-Neto, Malebranche Berardo Carneiro da; Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Pituitary tumor apoplexy is a medical emergency due to acute infarction or hemorrhage in the pituitary gland. In this review, the authors discuss the sellar anatomy, the pituitary gland and adenomas' vascularization and the general aspects of the syndrome such as its ethiopatogenesis, predisposing factors, clinical features, treatment and prognosis.
