Presentation
Pituitary apoplexy is an uncommon neurosurgical emergency that may be the initial presentation of undiagnosed pituitary adenomas. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
The mortality rate associated with perforations has decreased since 2000, likely due to early detection, advancement of conservative treatments, availability of treatment techniques, and the use of appropriate treatment methods. [e-ce.org]
Rome III and Milwaukee classification systems assist us in the diagnosis and treatment of sphincter dysfunction until we have a better way to predict treatment response post sphincterotomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
When a perforation occurs, the prognosis is influenced significantly by early diagnosis. [e-ce.org]
Outlook (Prognosis) Symptoms most often go away without treatment in a few days in otherwise healthy people. Possible Complications Dehydration Long-term diarrhea Note: In babies, the diarrhea can cause severe dehydration that comes on very quickly. [nicklauschildrens.org]
