I had a large pituitry tumour de bulked 5 years ago extended crainiotomy. had severe headaches for three years after have had raditherapy and take daily injections to reduce growth hormone only since the radio therapy have headaches become less severe.

Hi i have Partial empty sella, what effects and symptoms can it cause me ? As i was thinking i have Cushings syndrome. Thankyou

11:43 I get used get ocular migranes. But now they moved into something different, what i get now is it feels like pressure on the top of my head no real pain just pressure and then i get physically wiped out for 2 days. Lately i've been waking up at night with screaming headaches and I can hear the blood flowing though my ears. And my blood pressure is perfect every time it's been checked.

My wife has had Pituitary surgery three times since 2010. The first two through the nose and the third through the skull. Discussed the headaches with the neurosurgeon and his response was, take some Tylenol, there is nothing more i can do. He did suggest that we get a second opinion. He didn't recommend any other doctor locally. Wants us to go to MD Anderson or Mayo clinic. Hard to believe that there are no other doctors we can see here in Dallas.

🇹🇷

Yup good explanation. I had this exact problem. Took 15 years for Drs to diagnose.

you are a great teacher!

Has this patient been followed up with radiation? I was told by my neurosurgeon that because my tumor is big and invaded the cavernous sinus, that he won't be able to get it all, but will follow up with radiation aprox 3 months post surgery.

Thank you for this wonderful video...i was looking for something like this

What an incredible lady! Thank you for sharing your story. You are not alone, there are many of us out here with Cushing’s and hearing about your experience is just so helpful. Thank you Dr. Blevins. Great video!

Hello Dr. Lewis! I foud PWN very interesting on my case and I want to ask for your help! Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to make this video !!!

What a great inaugural episode. Thank you PWN for putting this on and thanks Mr. Jackson for being brave enough to share your story.

Very interesting, I had my tumor in my pituitary removed in 1988, and I still remember today the massive headache I had in recovery. It was nasty and painful but after about six months, Doctor was right no more pain just pills for the rest of my life. I thank God I was lucky the acromegaly I was diagnosed with at a young age.

Thanks doctor for sharing

Have you heard of tubarial glands? kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ3UYnyNa9aBgas

One the largest I've seen in my 20 years as a MR Technologist. Nice video.

Northumbrian Small Pipes always make yearn to sit with my feet in a creek or run through fields of grain. It's the sound of a humble and happy summer, briefly bending down and kissing me on the cheek, and it makes me cry every time.

Do you ever see a pituitary stalk with a cyst?

Have you ever dealt with, seen a cyst on the pituitary stalk?

Can a cyst be on the stalk of pituitary?

Well done! Excellent piping 🎶

Dr. Blevins diagnosed me at Vanderbilt. I was 16. I’m 35 now.

Very bad explanation

I had a CT Sinus done & today, I follow up with my ENT for my results. I am so scared. I read that I have “mucosal thickening in the sphenoid sinuses.” How is that treated? I’m scared to have any type of surgery UNLESS I am awake 😩

8 years later and this video is still viable

Thank you for the educational video. It helped me a lot.

Beautifully explained sir...thank you!

I’ve watched all of your presentations and learned a lot. I’ve had an MRI,with contrast, done recently for migraines. After viewing other pituitary imaging on your channel, I’m concerned about how my pituitary looks. There’s a black area in the corner of the left pituitary wing, and it’s very visible on the sagittal view. On the coronal view the dark spot is visible in the left corner and also the lower center. The pituitary appears to have a highlighted outline with a slightly darker contrast in the main body. There’s also an upward prominent hump at each end wing. There’s no visible optic chaism, and the upper carotid sipon on the left side is not visible? My pituitary doesn’t match anything that you’ve described on your channel. A endocrine Doctor at Cedars-Sinai has ordered a blood test. If I need any further testing or treatment, I will contact your department at UCSF. Thank you for sharing this information.

I have pulmonary sarcoidosis (past 2 years) The inflimation of my lymph nodes shocked my doctors. I was treated for 6 mo with prednisone 20 mg and tapered. After being off prednisone, the my symptoms returned. This time they started me on 10 mg prednisone but doesn't seem to be helping the symptoms. I also have hypothyroid (for 25 years). I insisted my Endo do an MRI of my pituitary. Finds are a 3 mm granuloma on my pituitary but he doesn't think it's effecting my thyroid. The MRI also showed a 10mm left artery aneurysm which I'm seeing a neurosurgeon and planning on having it addressed. So my question, is it probable that I have granulomas in other parts of my brain?

If you don’t know what is going on the dam eye doctor will not send you for a mri are ct scan they will simply say we are getting older

Yes I am also going through this headaches pain behind the eye one side are the other hair feels like it’s been pulled all-night tenderness in the front of face and ear ache and tooth ache with drainage down to the stomach and the pressure from the eye never got any better

Thank you for sharing that! That so helpful for medical students.

I've been feeling intoxicated/drugged/dizzy for 4 months now, while being a sober person. I had a mucocele removed 2 weeks ago tomorrow, from my sphenoid, not sure how large. Plus scar tissue was blocking the opening so it was opened. I still feel the same way. Do you think it's related? I was hoping after surgery I would get better. Maybe 2 weeks isn't enough.

It's so beautiful. I love the sound. It's so magical. 🌠🙏🏼

I'm going through this right now, and I was able to get some tests started by physically showing my doctor what my body was doing to me with messed up hormones. I was almost walked out of the office as just "another fat guy doesn't like his manboobs." I've had these left-eye headaches, where it feels like an ice pick directly into your brainstem for up to 10-15 seconds. My estrogen levels, as a male btw, are hundreds of times more than a pregnant female. I progressed into gynecomastia, and now I literally have women's breasts. I produce milk as a male. I've been disregarded and told I'm making things up since I was a child. My hormones are so screwed up since puberty that my brain doesn't function like other peoples - I've developed pseudo-bipolar disorders, depression and anxiety attacks that will hit you for no reason with no triggers and completely incapacitate me. Recently these random attacks would hit me in the middle of almost any activity, and I've never experienced anything like this before, but several times now I've straight up ran away to a room alone, broke down and couldn't stop crying. Over nothing. I'm not sad or thinking about anything particular when it happens or as it is happening, but for some reason it physically hurts me, idk how to really describe it. If you or someone you know might be showing signs or symptoms described in this video or in the comments, I URGE YOU to go get your bloodwork done, specifically hormones like prolactin, cortisol, testosterone, ya know what check it all. Pituitary tumors affect your entire body through the screwing up of your hormones. If there's anyone in this situation feel free to reach out, there's not really a support group. Especially for males - this is extremely humiliating to not be a normal man: no facial hair, no body hair, almost zero testosterone production, overproduction of estrogen, hypogonadism, and even micro-penis and unascended testicles from the abdomen can occur if you had this since childhood untreated like so many other men.

I hate having mine and meds don't agree with me

why do you say that endocrinólogist or neurosurgeons are the ones that should be looking at these images. The fact that the radiologist missed the diagnosis is NOT enough to make a statment Like that. I have seen many specialist making wrong radiológic diagnosis

Hello Stanford, I have had a pituitary tumor since diagnosed in Rutland Vermont on May 12, 2003. The PC and also Dartmouth neurosurgeons said it was too risky to do transphenoidal and that I would have serious problems. Since living in Burlington Vermont, any time I have complained about the tumor, which is now a macroadenoma, since 2008, noone will do even anything at all here at UVM medical center in Burlington. They have told me not to worry about it, be lucky it has not killed me, or BS that pills will boost sugar levels. I appealed to neurosurgery directly and they had patient advocates call me. Nowhere. THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. I have all types of symptoms in which they said is a mental problem. Lots know here but noone cares or not their problem in Vermont.

I had a cyst in the pituitary in 1997 removed went through the mouth and sinus . 4 years ago I had this removed in sphenoid sinus same thing. And they said I had pituitary adenoma again I never went back for that in 2015 cat scan showed sinus mass and 1.4cm Adenoma. Could all this have come from the tissue from my leg they used to pack my sinus after surgery? Mris are expensive and I just haven’t had another one

what is the main reason? it can be from family gen or foods or other things?

A recent MRI revealed that have an empty Sella and a flattened pituitary. Naturally, I started researching on Google and KZbin but all I could find were radiographic images. An actual skull was so much more helpful. Thanks!

Do you or your colleagues take cases for 2nd opinion review of films?

Can I send you some brain images and get your opinion? I'm trying to find answers about my husbands brain scans. I would really, really appreciate it. Thank you
