Overview
Neurological decompression is done once the patient is hemodynamically stable.[1] Surgery relieves pressure on the pituitary and improves visual field defects and ocular palsy.[2]
Surgery
Neurological decompression is done once the patient is hemodynamically stable. Surgery relieves pressure on the pituitary and improves visual field defects and ocular palsy. Early decompression has been associated with better visual and endocrine outcome.[3] The nature of surgical approach depends upon presentation of patient and can be either:
- Transsphenoidal approach (more common)
- Open craniotomy
