Pituitary tumors are tumors that originate in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Surgery for pituitary tumors often comes with serious risks, so doctors will prioritize choosing appropriate surgical methods.

Patients with pituitary tumors often feel the tumor pressing on the nerves, causing typical symptoms such as: Headache, dizziness, nausea, temporal hemianopia, ptosis... There are many methods to treat pituitary tumors, but the most considered choice is pituitary tumor surgery through the sphenoid sinus.

Pituitary tumors account for about 10% of intracranial tumors. Pituitary tumors are mostly benign, developing from the anterior pituitary lobe (posterior pituitary tumors also occur but are very rare).

The pituitary gland is an important endocrine gland, responsible for many functions affecting other organs or endocrine glands of the body. Pituitary tumors are not life-threatening but affect health and can cause infertility.
