Subject: question about pituitary tumors
--
I have certainly read that brain tumors are very, very rare, but am
wondering if some of the cases in which one is suspect due to
symptoms like seizures, and hormonal problems exist (such as
adrenal-like or heat-like symptoms even when surgery finds no
problem), or insulinoma-like symptoms without insulinoma, if perhaps
the pituitary could be involved due to its regulation of endocrine
glands? If so, is it possible that more readily available methods
other than CAT scans might be of use for diagnoses given its location
and function? Have no idea, myself.
