[Endocrine prognosis of PRL-secreting pituitary adenomas. In 90 female cases (author's transl)].
This study based upon 90 cases of prolactinomas where hormonal and clinical results have been compared demonstrates: 1) a good correlation between a normal postoperative plasma PRL level (less than 30 ng/ml) and the cure of the amenorrhea galactorrhea syndrome (90% of the cases); 2) a good correlation between the cure of the patients and the preoperative plasma PRL level: below 200 ng/ml, 85% of the patients are cured compared to 24% only when the preoperative PRL plasma level is above 200 ng/ml.
