Non-functioning pituitary adenoma is a lesion usually large enough to produce loss of vision and often loss of libido. Transsphenoidal microsurgery is the treatment of choice of these patients. Postoperative radiation therapy should be performed in patients with significant residual pituitary adenoma. Some studies have recently reported that somatostatin analogue may be useful as adjuvant medical therapy, at least in order to improve visual field defects.
无功能垂体腺瘤是一种通常体积较大足以导致视力丧失且常伴有性欲减退的病变。经蝶窦显微手术是这些患者的首选治疗方法。对于有明显垂体腺瘤残留的患者应进行术后放射治疗。最近一些研究报告称，生长抑素类似物可能作为辅助药物治疗有用，至少为了改善视野缺损。
