Early history of neurosurgery in Manitoba: threads in the tapestry of world neurosurgery.

abstract：OBJECT:Nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) are benign tumors of the pituitary gland that typically cause visual and/or hormonal dysfunction. Surgery is the treatment of choice, but patients remain at risk for tumor recurrence for several years afterwards. The authors evaluate the early results of surgery and the ...
