Most pituitary tumors can be removed transsphenoidally. The approach is through the sphenoid sinus, one of the facial air spaces behind the nose. Rarely, a craniotomy is required, where the skull is opened to reach the tumor.
The best way to look at tumors or other abnormalities of the pituitary gland and nearby area is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An MRI scan gives a much better image of the gland and surrounding structures than other types of scans. A specialized pituitary MRI is critical to an evaluation of a patient's condition. The pituitary gland is small and some tumors and growths and brain structures within and around it are even smaller. A pituitary gland MRI is different than a regular MRI of the brain. It creates high resolution images that allow doctors to see the pituitary region better.
