Abstract

Pituitary or hypothalamic disorders including hypopituitarism, Cushing disease, and hyperprolactinemia are major causes of osteoporosis. Patients with pituitary or hypothalamic lesions have tendency of association of hypopituitarism in both preoperative and postoperative endocrinological assessment. Growth hormone deficiency is also one of the considerable risks of osteopenia. Thus, in surgery for pituitary or hypothalamic lesions, preservation of pituitary function and postoperative appropriate hormone replacement therapy are required.
