In order to explore the treatments and prognosis of pituitary adenomas in children, the experience in the treatment of 15 children with pituitary adenomas was summed up. The clinical data of 15 children with pituitary adenomas in Tongji Hospital were retrospectively analyzed from Jan. 1997 to Aug. 2004, including 9 males and 6 females with the age ranging from 9 - 15 years old (mean 12.8). The disease duration was 3 months to 5 years (mean 2 years). Fourteen cases were subjected to the microsurgical operation through oral tanssphenoidal approach and one case to medical treatment. All cases were followed up from 1 to 5 years by imaging studies and endocrine investigation. The results showed that 13 cases obtained total removal of the tumor and one subtotal removal of tumor. No severe complications and operation death occurred. It was concluded that the tanssphenoidal approach was the optimal treatment for children with pituitary adenomas. Regular and long-term follow-up is of great importance.
