[Features of pituitary tumors and incidentalomas in hyper- and hypoprolactinemia].
Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (1759) established peculiar pathological features of the pituitary gland in 80% of patients with pituitary tumors (plus hyperprolactinemia), in 20% of those with empty Turkish saddle syndrome (plus hypoprolactinemia), and in 20% of healthy subjects with 3-mm incidentalomas. Differences and similarities of empty Turkish saddle syndrome under hyperprolactinemia and hypoprolactinemia conditions were identified.
