About this document
Overview of the Pituitary Gland Anatomy by mrhamzasalama is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The pituitary gland, a small endocrine gland weighing ½ gm, consists of an anterior and posterior lobe and is located in the hypophyseal fossa. It is supplied by the inferior and superior hypophyseal arteries and the hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal system, with clinical issues arising from tumors including hormonal disturbances and increased intracranial pressure. Surgical treatments vary based on tumor size, with smaller tumors requiring trans-sphenoidal surgery and larger ones necessitating craniotomy.
