Thus, the low percentage shouldbe considered in the differential diagnosis of calcifyingtumors in the sella region and during pre-surgicalplanning related to the pituitary gland.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Purpose: The objective of this study was toinvestigate the prevalence of pituitary calcificationsusing cone beam computed tomography in a group ofTurkish individuals.Material and methods: Cone beam computedtomography scans in the axial, coronal and sagittalplanes of the pituitary gland of 284 patients wereexamined for evidence of pituitary calcification.Results: In the cone beam computed tomographyscans, pituitary calcifications were seen 0.7% of thesample.
📊
Key Findings & Data:All of the pituitary calcifications wereobserved in males.Conclusion: This study showed a low frequency ofpituitary calcification.

Abstract

Purpose: The objective of this study was toinvestigate the prevalence of pituitary calcificationsusing cone beam computed tomography in a group ofTurkish individuals.Material and methods: Cone beam computedtomography scans in the axial, coronal and sagittalplanes of the pituitary gland of 284 patients wereexamined for evidence of pituitary calcification.Results: In the cone beam computed tomographyscans, pituitary calcifications were seen 0.7% of thesample. All of the pituitary calcifications wereobserved in males.Conclusion: This study showed a low frequency ofpituitary calcification. Thus, the low percentage shouldbe considered in the differential diagnosis of calcifyingtumors in the sella region and during pre-surgicalplanning related to the pituitary gland.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı konik ışınlı bilgisayarlıtomografi ile hipofiz kalsifikasyonlarının Türk subpopülasyonundaki sıklığını araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: 284 hastanın hipofiz bezine aitaksiyel, koronal ve sagittal düzlemde konik ışınlıbilgisayarlı tomografi ile yapılan taramaları, pituiter kalsifikasyonların varlığı açısından incelendi.Bulgular: Konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi ile yapılan taramalarda pituiter kalsifikasyonlar % 0.7 oranında görüldü. Pituiter kalsifikasyonların tümü erkeklerde gözlendi. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada hipofiz kalsifikasyona ait düşükbir oran bulundu. Bu düşük oran sella bölgesindekikalsifiye olan tümörlerin ayırıcı tanısında ve pituiter bezle ilgili cerrahi öncesi planlamada dikkate alınmalıdır.
