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]

Prognosis

Outlook (Prognosis) Acute pituitary infarction is a potentially life-threatening event. Prognosis for chronic deficiency (which is detected and treated) is good. [medicine.georgetown.edu]

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]

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]

The prognosis for AS is difficult to predict, as it varies widely between individuals, and the progression is often not constant. Important factors for measuring outlook include levels of functional ability, spinal mobility, joint damage, and so on. [medicalnewstoday.com]
