[Contribution of computerized tomography to the diagnosis and postoperative study of sellar tumors].
The computerized tomography (C.T.) of 18 patients with sellar tumours were analysed. The C.T. made before surgery in 6 cases was positive in 3 and the type of tumour suggested by C.T. was confirmed in 3. Twelve patients had a C.T. investigation after surgery and the examination suggest recurrent tumour in 5. Two of these were re-operated. One patients with cholesteatoma had the recurrent tumour verified by surgery and the other, with a pituitary adenoma during re-operation was noted only cicatricial tissue at sellar region.
