RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: McCune-Albright Syndrome is a rare genetic disease characterized by the formation of fibrous osteodysplasia foci of various localization, including the bones of skull base. Having a gross lesion of the main bone body and the simultaneous formation of the pituitary adenoma, its transnasal removal becomes very difficult. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Two clinical observations are presented where at patients with the classic manifestation of McCune-Albright syndrome we were able to successfully remove somatotropinomas with endoextrasellar growth. In both cases the presence of visual disorder was the indication for surgery. RESULTS: Despite pronounced deviations in the anatomy of the skull base bones in both cases we managed to access the Turkish saddle. Removal of the pituitary tumor did not differ from standard surgery. Improved vision after surgery was observed in two patients. Tumors were removed subtotally and clinical and biochemical remission of acromegaly was not achieved. In both cases, the tumors had morphological signs of atypia. Patients continued to receive therapy with somatostatin analogues and radiation. CONCLUSION: The possibility of performing transnasal surgery in this category of patients using specific instruments and intraoperative navigation is shown.
