Abstract
Our study is Prospective Study about correlation of MRI Brain Findings with Per-op Findings in case of Pituitary Tumors. This study was performed in 40 patients including both males & females; new & recurrent cases, in duration of 2 ½ years. All patients were undergone MRI Brain with special sequences for Pituitary Gland evaluation with other Hormonal analysis in some cases as per requirement .All patients were undergone Endoscopic Trans-sphenoidal Endonasal Excision of Pituitary Tumor. All patients were called for follow-up after 3 months for Surgical Excision evaluation with MRI Brain study. In follow-up cases we have studied our surgical achievement in relation of tumor clearance & consider any need of adjuvant therapy like Radiation therapy.
Key Words: Pituitary, Endoscopic transphenoidal, MRI Brain, Hormonal, Adjuvant therapy.
