It is a report about the diagnostic and the therapy of 10 women with a hyperprolactinemia caused by microadenomas of the hypophysis. The diagnose was made by reason of clinical symptomatology and hormonal and neuroradiological investigations. In six cases the tumor was removed by transsphenoidal route. One women does not give her consent to the microsurgical operation. In three patients the operation seemed not to be indicated absolutely. We gave them a longlasting therapy with bromocriptine. After operation galactorrhea decreased and we found ovulatory cycles in any case. It was concluded, that the results may be better, if the patients are dealt with bromocriptine for a long time, so abolishing the still existing complaints.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008866 Microsurgery The performance of surgical procedures with the aid of a microscope.
D010911 Pituitary Neoplasms Neoplasms which arise from or metastasize to the PITUITARY GLAND. The majority of pituitary neoplasms are adenomas, which are divided into non-secreting and secreting forms. Hormone producing forms are further classified by the type of hormone they secrete. Pituitary adenomas may also be characterized by their staining properties (see ADENOMA, BASOPHIL; ADENOMA, ACIDOPHIL; and ADENOMA, CHROMOPHOBE). Pituitary tumors may compress adjacent structures, including the HYPOTHALAMUS, several CRANIAL NERVES, and the OPTIC CHIASM. Chiasmal compression may result in bitemporal HEMIANOPSIA.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.
