Late psychological symptoms of pituitary adenoma?

Hormone changes: various types of secretory adenomas can secrete too much hormone, which can produce different symptoms of hyperendocrinism in the early stage. Non secretory adenoma can compress and destroy the anterior pituitary cells, resulting in the decrease of hormone stimulating hormone and the decrease of target cell function. A few cases of endocrine adenoma may also have hypopituitarism in the late stage of the disease.

Optic nerve compression symptoms: pituitary adenoma growing upward can make the top of the sellar septum high or break through the sellar septum to press the optic nerve upward, resulting in changes in vision and visual field. Proximate symptoms: pituitary adenomas grow out of the sella and oppress adjacent structures.

Headache: about 2 / 3 patients with non secretory pituitary tumor may have headache, but it is not too serious. Diffuse headache can be caused by the increase of intracranial pressure caused by the obstruction of interventricular foramen. Sometimes, hemorrhage in tumor or rupture of tumor cyst can cause acute severe headache.
