Abstract:

Pituitary pathology of prolactinoma type was studied under the clinic and imagistic aspect. In the present, clinic and paraclinic diagnosis colligation to the imagistic one, may constitute the base for a prolactin secreting macro-or microadenoma correct diagnosis. Evolutivity aspects of those post therapeutic lesions are different meaning the rapid favorable evolution of the serous prolactine values, of a slower sometimes insignificant evolution of imagistic quantified lesions. Clinical, paraclinical but also imagistic monitoring of that pathology leads to optimizing the drug therapy applying.
