[|Human|] Hi, I have been diagnosed with a benign neoplasm of the pituitary gland and craniopharyngeal duct..The size of the tumor is 1.4 cm. Im afraid the result will be surgery. What do you think? I meet with a Opthomologist tomorrow to have a vision screening done b/c my vision is blurred. I have extreme headaches and so much memory loss. I will be seeing a neurosurgeon as well ASAP. Im scared.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Yes, your guess is correct. Most likely, your neurosurgeon would advise you for a surgery. However, there is no need to worry, as the tumor of pituitary is most often benign (such as pituitary adenoid or craniopharyngioma). Once they are operated, you would improve for good. The most likely cause of your headaches and memory loss is the tumor. Also, in most cases, the pituitary surgery can be done through nose, without opening the skull. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
