RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This paper surveys hormonally inactive pituitary tumours on the basis of the current international literature; it also reflects the experience of the authors. INTERPRETATION: Pituitary tumours are frequently diagnosed and usually show a low potential for growth. Although benign they may invade adjacent structures such as the cavernous and sphenoid sinuses. The diagnosis is usually made on the basis of pituitary failure or visual problems, or incidentally. Tumour debulking or removal, usually by transsphenoidal surgery, is indicated if there is a compression of the optic chiasm or if the tumour shows signs of growth on consecutive MRI scans. Surgery is an effective treatment of these tumours, with little risk of complications. Repeated surgery, either transsphenoidally or by craniotomy, is indicated if chiasmal decompression is not achieved initially. Fractionated single beam irradiation or stereotactic radiosurgery is indicated in cases where there is a residual of growing tumours that may not be removed surgically.
