Description
Pituitary tumors are more common than generally thought,
with a prevalence of about 10% on MR imaging in the general
population. At the same time, many endocrinologists and
internists may not have sufficient exposure to deal confidently
with a variety of pituitary disorders. If not properly treated,
pituitary disorders may result in significant morbidity and
lower life expectancy. This one-day program will place a heavy
emphasis on case discussions to review the best strategies
for evaluation and management of pituitary disorders by some
of the finest experts in this field. The speakers will share their
experience from interesting and/or challenging cases that
they have faced. There will be ample time for discussion and
questions.
