[Pharmacologic cure of a pituitary macroprolactinoma].
We describe herein a 38 year old male who complained of persistent cephalalgias during six months which were associated to hyperprolactinemia and a pituitary macroprolactinoma shown by MRI. The patient was treated with cabergoline (0.5 mg/week) and remained asymptomatic for a year. The last MRI showed a normal pituitary.
