The effect of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors on the volumes of intracranial structures
Our findings indicate significant volumetric reductions in various brain regions in PitNET patients, potentially explaining observed emotional and cognitive symptoms. The diagnostic utility of ILV and subcortical GM volumes is promising, suggesting their value as diagnostic adjuncts. These objective volumetric assessments may assist in surgical planning and patient stratification, though further prospective research is warranted to establish direct links with clinical outcomes.
