I. Treatment principles: 1. Surgery: first choice, those with pituitary stroke should have emergency surgery.
2.Stereotactic radiosurgery: γ-knife or X-knife treatment can be considered for those without intracranial pressure increase sign and tumor diameter <3cm. 3.Radiation therapy: those whose tumors are not completely excised or cannot tolerate surgery. 4.Drug therapy: Those with hypopituitarism can be given drug replacement therapy, and those with secretory function adenoma can use drugs that inhibit excessive secretion of pituitary hormones. 5. Prevention of infection, symptomatic treatment, and treatment of complications for those with complications. 1. Prednisone, cortisone, thyroxine tablets, methyltestosterone, posterior pituitary hormone and other alternative treatments can be given to improve hypopituitarism without secretory adenoma, which can be chosen according to the condition.

It is often used as an adjuvant drug after surgery or radiotherapy. 3. Correct cerebral edema and lower intracranial pressure with mannitol, tachyphylaxis and dexamethasone as the main drugs, and even human albumin can be used. 4.Pay attention to electrolyte and fluid balance and replenish blood loss intraoperatively. 5, postoperative use of antibiotics to prevent infection as appropriate, can be combined with drugs; use neurotrophic drugs to promote brain cell recovery. 6.Treat symptomatically, and select drugs to deal with complications.
