Partly due to increased life expectancy, more and more patients over 60 years of age present with neurosurgical problems. In each case you have to decide to operate a patient or not. Describing the management in pituitary adenomas we conclude that also in elderly people operative therapy via the transsphenoidal approach can be done with a low risk in most cases.
