Overview

Historical perspective

  • Primitive concepts of the function of the pituitary gland were formulated in the 4th century BC by Hippocrates of Cos (460–370 BC).
  • Joseph Lieutaud (1703–1780), a French physician and anatomist, named the pituitary stalk by proposing the term “Tige Pituitaire” and described it as containing many small longitudinal blood vessels communicating with the pituitary.
  • In 1886, Pierre Marie (1853–1940), a French physician, demonstrated the association between acromegaly and pituitary tumors for the first time in his publication of two cases.
  • In 1840, von Mohr described the rapid development of obesity in a case of a pituitary tumor.
  • Zenker in 1857 was the first to identify masses of cells resembling squamous epithelium along the pars tuberalis and pars distalis of the pituitary.[1]
  • In 1932, squamous epithelial cells were detected in the pituitary glands of childhood populations.[1]
  • in 1932 the name “craniopharyngioma” was introduced by Cushing.[1]
  • In the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology 3rd revision the code number 9350 refers to "unspecified craniopharyngioma", whilst 9351 and 9352 correspond to the two histological subtypes, adamantinous and papillary craniopharyngiomas, respectively.[1]

History and evolution of transsphenoidal surgery

  • Initial attempts at transcranial approaches to the pituitary gland in the late 1800s and early 1900s resulted in a mortality rate that was generally considered prohibitive.[2][3]
  • Schloffer suggested the use of a transsphenoidal route as a safer, alternative approach to the sella turcica.
  • First successful removal of a pituitary tumor via the transsphenoidal approach in 1906.[2]
  • A. E. Halstead's described in 1910 the sublabial gingival incision for the initial stage of exposure.[2][3]
  • Norman Dott, in 1923, continued to use the transsphenoidal procedure while others pursued transcranial approaches.[2]
  • Jules Hardy, who used intraoperative fluoroscopy in transsphenoidal approach to reach pituitary.[2][3]
