Transsphenoidal resection for pituitary adenoma in elderly versus younger patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

abstract：:We present 7 cases of false intracavernous carotid artery aneurysms. Four occurred after trauma and three were caused iatrogenically. Two of the latter occurred in patients with pituitary adenomas, one after transsphenoidal microsurgery and the other after yttrium [YI90] seed implantation into the sella. The third iat...
