Purpose of Pituitary Post

The blog is intended to collect information related to a condition experienced by a person (identified in this blog as a female in her teens, named "Pat"). Pat's situation can be described briefly as follows:
  • Hyperprolactinemia, pituitary macroadenoma diagnosed around age 10;
  • Treatment with Cabergoline quickly shrank adenoma, but now empty sella in indicated;
  • Prolactin remains high, and is only partially controlled with Cabergoline;
  • Chronic, constant headache.

  1. Two neurologists have disagreed or at least questioned whether the diagnosis of "empty sella turcica" is accurate.
