Pituitary apoplexy after cardiac surgery in a 14-year-old girl with Carney complex: a case report.

abstract：PURPOSE:Surgical removal of growth hormone-producing pituitary adenomas (GHomas) becomes difficult when they invade the cavernous sinus (CS). We investigated the relation among tumor proliferative potential, tumor volume and invasion of GHomas to CS. MATERIALS & METHODS:15 patients with GHoma aged 20-59 years were enr...
