Abstract

The records of 664 patients who underwent operations for pituitary adenomas have been reviewed. Sixty-four of the adenomas were hemorrhagic or had necrotic degeneration and were prolactin-secreting, nonsecreting, growth-hormone-secreting, or ACTH-LPH-secreting. The clinical signs and symptoms, etiology, pathophysiology, and diagnostic and therapeutic implications are discussed.
