Presentation
A 36-year-old man presented to the emergency department with substernal chest tightness of 6 hours’ duration. The chest tightness was initially intermittent but became persistent 1 hour before presentation. [nejm.org]
When present, they produce the same signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism (see Chapter 11 ). [ime.acponline.org]
The dorsal sellar diaphragm presents the least resistance to soft tissue expansion from the sella; consequently, pituitary adenomas frequently extend in a suprasellar direction. Bony invasion may occur as well. [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]

In any case, an OP presenting baby is not an emergency, but could cause back labor or a slightly longer, more difficult labor. Greater risk of c-section In some cases an OP presentation may require more interventions, like a c-section. [mamanatural.com]

The second vector is directed downwards and to the right, which results in a prominent R-wave in lead aVF and equally prominent S-wave in lead I. The electrical axis will be more positive than 90 (right axis deviation). [ecgwaves.com]
Treatment
Treatment involves the transsphenoidal resection of the pituitary. [ime.acponline.org]
The treatment may be medical by taking medicine to slow the pituitary gland down or may be more involved with surgical or radiation treatment. [chw.org]
If nonsurgical treatment fails, or if the risks of nonoperative treatment exceed the risks of surgery, then surgery options are considered. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion involves an incision in the front of the neck. [spine.org]
In other cases, pituitary irradiation or surgery, or even treatment aimed at a peripheral target gland, may be necessary. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Prognosis of left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) Isolated LAFB is considered a benign conduction defect. [ecgwaves.com]
Prognosis The prognosis for most patients with hypopituitarism is excellent. As long as therapy is continued, many experience normal life spans. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
LCH can be classified according to system involvement as unisystem disease (US), which can be uni- or multifocal and is usually associated with a good prognosis and might require no treatment, or as multisystem disease (MS), which has a poorer prognosis [karger.com]
Outlook If hormone replacement therapy is adequate, the prognosis is good. Complications are often related to the underlying disease. For More Information Visit the Pituitary Network Association web site. [webmd.com]

Etiology Pituitary adenomas are the most common pituitary disorder. They are classified by size and function. [unboundmedicine.com]
When considering pathology related to the pituitary itself, the most common etiology of either over- or under-production of pituitary hormones in adults is a pituitary lesion. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]
