It is precisely because there is no single method that can achieve a complete cure for pituitary tumors that various treatment methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Individualized treatment plans should be developed based on the size of the patient’s pituitary tumor, hormone secretion, complications and co-morbidities, the patient’s age, whether he or she has fertility requirements, and the patient’s financial situation. So what are the specific symptoms of pituitary tumor?
1.Cavernous sinus syndrome: pituitary tumor grows to both sides and compresses the cavernous sinus, resulting in eye movement disorder, proptosis, secondary trigeminal neuralgia and facial numbness.
2.Hypothalamic syndrome: Pituitary tumor grows upward and affects hypothalamus, which may lead to hypothalamic syndrome.
3.Pituitary gland dysfunction: Hormone level disorder.
4.Loss of vision, visual field defects and fundus changes: Pituitary tumor growing upward often compresses the optic nerve or optic cross, resulting in loss of vision, visual field defects and fundus changes.
