由于采用了通过鼻腔和蝶窦进入垂体的显微外科技术,术前及术后测定血浆中人的生长激素(HGH)和促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH),给肢端肥大症和Nelson综合征患者的早期诊断及垂体腺瘤良好的手术治疗开辟了一个新的途径。作者报告较小瘤体的选择性手术后,垂体功能有可能不被破坏。 1970年以来,在11例肢端肥大症患者(女性9例,男性2例)及3例Nelson综合征患者(女性2例, Due to the microsurgical technique using the nasal cavity and sphenoid sinus into the pituitary, human plasma growth hormone (HGH) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) were measured preoperatively and postoperatively in patients with acromegaly and Nelson syndrome The early diagnosis of pituitary adenoma and good surgical treatment has opened up a new avenue. After the authors report selective surgery for smaller tumors, pituitary function may not be destroyed. Since 1970, 11 patients with acromegaly (9 females, 2 males) and 3 patients with Nelson’s syndrome (2 females,
