Review Practice Guideline
Guidelines: Congress of Neurological Surgeons Systematic Review and Evidence-Based Guideline for the Management of Patients With Residual or Recurrent Nonfunctioning Pituitary Adenomas.
Despite the advancement of microsurgical and endoscopic techniques, some nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) can be difficult to cure. Tumor recurrence or incomplete resection may occur in some patients with NFPAs, and management strategies for these NFPAs remain unclear. ⋯ NFPA, nonfunctioning pituitary adenomaSRS, stereotactic radiosurgerySRT, stereotactic radiotherapyXRT, fractionated radiation therapy.

Review Practice Guideline
Guidelines: Congress of Neurological Surgeons Systematic Review and Evidence-Based Guideline on Pretreatment Ophthalmology Evaluation in Patients With Suspected Nonfunctioning Pituitary Adenomas.
Nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) are the most frequent pituitary tumors. Visual symptoms from NFPAs are common and include visual field defects, loss of central vision, and motility problems resulting in diplopia. ⋯ NFPA, nonfunctioning pituitary adenomaOCT, optical coherence tomography.
