Mean intrasellar pressure, visual field, headache intensity and quality of life of patients with pituitary adenoma Pressão intra-selar média, campo visual, intensidade de cefaléia e qualidade de vida em portadores de adenoma hipofisårio
Intrasellar pressure (ISP) measurement technique has recently opened a new line of research in neuroendocrinology. The absolute and mean ISP values were investigated in 25 patients consecutively operated at the Brasilia University Hospital (DF). These data were correlated with serum prolactin levels, number of visual quadrant affected, tumor size, quality of life (measured through the SF-36 scale) and graded headache (measured through the HIT-6 scale). No correlation was observed. The p values were 0.887; 0.137; 0.892; 0.812 and 0.884; respectively. The HIT-6 values were inversely and moderately correlated with total RAND SF-36 and its mental and physical dimensions.<br>A tĂ©cnica da medida da pressĂŁo intra-selar (PIS) abriu, recentemente, uma nova linha de pesquisa em neuroendocrinologia. O objetivo deste estudo foi aferir os valores absolutos da PIS e calcular a pressĂŁo intra-selar mĂ©dia (PIM) em uma população de 25 pacientes operados consecutivamente no Hospital UniversitĂĄrio de BrasĂlia (DF). NĂŁo se observou correlação significativa entre a PIM e o nĂșmero de quadrantes visuais comprometidos (p=0,137), ĂĄrea do tumor (p=0,892), nĂvel de qualidade de vida mensurado pela escala SF-36 (p=0,812) e a presença e a intensidade da cefalĂ©ia mensurada pela escala HIT-6 (p=0,884). Contudo, o HIT-6 correlacionou-se de forma inversa e intensidade moderada com os valores de HIT-6 e suas dimensĂ”es mental e fĂsica
