  • Title: [Tumoral development of prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas during pregnancy. Therapeutic approaches (author's transl)].
    Author: Rohmer V, Strauch G, Luton JP, Bricaire H.
    Journal: Nouv Presse Med; 1981 Dec 19; 10(46):3783-6. PubMed ID: 6172776.
    Abstract:
    During pregnancy the volume of prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas tends to increase dangerously for surrounding structures, especially the optic chiasma. When rapid growth occurs, at least three therapeutic approaches are possible: resection of the adenoma, temporization under monitoring and administration of bromocriptine. The latter treatment, which seems to be of particular value, was applied to a female patient and was followed by prompt regression of optic chiasma compression. However, as bromocriptine was given concurrently with chlormadinone acetate, this excellent result cannot be ascribed to bromocriptine alone.
