They were 48 cases of prolactinomas, 21 of acromegalies, 7 of Cushing's diseases, 1 of TSH producing adenoma and 24 of non-functioning adenomas. Forty-five cases were microadenomas. Neuroradiological diagnosis was performed by craniogram, polytomogram, cerebral angiogram, cavernous sinogram and computed tomography (CT). Craniogram was useful for a screening examination of pituitary adenomas. Cerebral angiogram was not useful for the diagnosis of functioning adenomas. Polytomogram and cavernous sinogram were useful even for the diagnosis of microadenomas, but they showed only indirect findings of microadenomas. High resolution CT showed both microadenomas and nomal pituitary glands in many cases with reconstruction views from thin section axial scans. Almost microadenomas were shown as low density area or less enhanced area than pituitary glands with infusion of cotrast media. A shift of the stalk and a laterality of the cavernous sinus were useful as indirect findings of microadenomas. So we could diagnose 41 cases per 45 of microadenomas.}, pages = {728--730}, title = {5) ホルモン産生下垂体腺腫の画像診断(シンポジウム ホルモン産生下垂体腺腫の臨床, 第427回新潟医学会)}, volume = {101}, year = {1987} }
