Abstract

Pituitary tumors commonly produce suprasellar extension. We have found that in assessing lateral suprasellar extent, the pneumoencephalogram and arteriogram are least accurate. CT scanning significantly increases the accuracy, and it is recommended that all patients with pituitary tumors have an initial CT scan.

摘要

垂体瘤通常会向鞍上扩展。我们发现，在评估鞍旁外侧范围时，气脑造影和动脉造影的准确性最低。CT扫描显著提高了准确性，建议所有垂体瘤患者都进行首次CT扫描。
