Abstract

Pituitary tumors account for approximately 15% of primary intracranial neoplasms and often are diagnosed incidentally. Common sellar lesions are pituitary adenomas, craniopharyngiomas, and Rathke cleft cysts. Currently endoscopic transsphenoidal approaches are largely used, and many centers also use 3-dimensional (3D) technology, although additional results of long-term follow-up are still being accumulated.
