Pituitary tumor and endoscopic surgery: what patients should know

Pituitary tumors can cause headache, vision changes, hormonal disturbances, or may be found incidentally during imaging. Not every pituitary lesion requires surgery.

The key question is not simply whether a tumor exists, but whether its size, behavior, symptoms, and anatomy justify treatment.
