#rathke cyst

[meilas]

story time! idk if I mentioned it but I had minor brain surgery in April 2023 to remove what turned out to be a rathke's cyst that was pressing on my optic nerve that was found a year before by ct/mri scans that I got because I managed to give myself a minor concussion while skating. I say minor brain surgery because my head was not cut open, the surgeons stuck things up my nose to get it out. stayed several days in the hospital and went home either the second to last or the last day that Phantom of the Opera played on Broadway. my friend @from-aldebaran sent me flowers with my favourite Phantom (Sir Franc D'Ambrosio) on the vase <3

72 hours until my in-person callback

...with the neuroendocrine surgeon! 😜

Confirmed: there is a lesion on my pituitary gland which may be either a pituitary adenoma, a Rathke's cleft cyst that's behaving like a pituitary adenoma, or both. Whatever you wanna call it, it seems to be the source of all this crap, and surgery will be the next step.

I am SO grateful to the scheduling team for following through on their promise to call me the second a cancellation came up so I wouldn't have to wait until mid-September. I can't wait to SKIP off the subway into the UES on Tuesday morning (if not physically, then spiritually). I can't wait to MAYBE HOPEFULLY have surgery scheduled by this time next week, to get this stupid tumor thing off my pituitary gland for good.

I'm starting to feel some sadness about the prospect of leaving this apartment. This second-story walkup studio, the first lease I ever signed. This apartment was my dream for so long. For a whole year, I got to live that dream--and for half of that year, I even got to pay for it myself.

It's weird, as a person who believes in disability pride and abhors capitalism, that my two primary goals right now are (1) obtain this surgery so that I can become healthier, (e.g., less disabled), and (2) in doing so, obtain the ability to work as hard as I can, so I will have a shot at attaining financial independence again, and maybe even retaining it this time.

But no. That's not it. What I want is to feel better, so I can do more things that I love, and earn enough of my keep to have my needs met and be able to give back to the world in a meaningful way.

I want to work because there are so many things I enjoy working at. I want to make money because participating in capitalism is the only way to ultimately free yourself from its trappings and help others do the same.

And also, I want to sing and dance and roller skate and walk in the woods and read all the books and pet all the cats and bake cookies from scratch and engage in all the niche fandom content and visit my family and friends whenever I want and host them for holidays without worrying about whether or not I'll have the energy.

Tuesday will bring me one step closer to all of that. Thank God. God is still good.

Just over 71 hours.

[metoidionasty]

Just wanna thank anyone who took the time to pray for me while I’ve been working to to find out about my brain mass.

I got good news from the neuro today that it’s a Rathke cleft cyst and the doc said he isn’t worried about it causing any current issues.🙏🏻

[plague-parade]

im still waiting for my neurologists notes on my mri results, but i went over them myself (thx mychart) and it seems like my brain is physically normal, aside from the cystic lesion on my pituitary glad (the radiologist noted that its probably something called a rathke’s cleft cyst- which doesnt explain any of my motor or cognitive issues, but does explain the headaches and hormone issues).

my cervical spine shows some stenosis, so we’re probably going to do another mri on the rest of my spine. i have a feeling i have some more severe stenosis in my thoracic and/or lumbar spine.

the numbness in my legs is getting worse and spreading :/ its like a surface numbness? like i can still feel deep pressure but not textures or slight pressure. ive been having some more issues with my bladder lately too, so something being up with my spinal cord makes sense. is it possible to have a SCI and not know it??/hj

Understanding Pituitary Tumors: Treatment Options Explained

Pituitary tumors, although often benign, can have significant implications for health due to their location at the base of the brain. These tumors can disrupt the normal functioning of the pituitary gland, which is crucial for hormone regulation. The treatment of pituitary tumors requires a comprehensive understanding of the various types of tumors, their symptoms, potential complications, and the most effective surgical and non-surgical treatment options available. This article delves into the complexities of pituitary tumors Treatment detailing the treatment options and highlighting the expertise of specialists like Newport Beach and Orange County.

What Are Pituitary Tumors?

Pituitary tumors are abnormal growths that develop in the pituitary gland, a small gland located at the base of the brain. The pituitary gland is often referred to as the “master gland” because it produces hormones that regulate various bodily functions, including growth, metabolism, and reproductive processes. While most pituitary tumors are non-cancerous (benign), they can still lead to significant health issues due to their effect on hormone production and their proximity to critical structures within the brain.

Common Types of Pituitary Tumors

Pituitary Adenomas: These are the most common type of pituitary tumors, accounting for 15-20% of primary brain tumors. They can be classified into functional adenomas, which produce excess hormones, and non-functional adenomas, which do not secrete hormones.

Acromegaly: This condition is caused by a growth hormone-secreting adenoma. Excess growth hormone leads to abnormal growth of bones and tissues, resulting in characteristic features such as enlarged hands, feet, and facial features.

Cushing’s Disease: Caused by an ACTH-secreting adenoma, Cushing’s disease results in elevated cortisol levels, leading to a range of symptoms, including weight gain, high blood pressure, and mood changes.

Prolactinoma: This type of adenoma leads to excess production of prolactin, which can cause infertility, irregular menstrual cycles, and breast discharge in women, and sexual dysfunction in men.

Craniopharyngioma: Although not a true pituitary tumor, craniopharyngiomas arise near the pituitary gland and can cause hormonal imbalances and vision problems.

Rathke’s Cleft Cyst: These are benign cysts that can develop in the pituitary gland and may cause symptoms if they grow large enough to compress surrounding structures.

Hypopituitarism: This condition, characterized by the underproduction of one or more of the pituitary hormones, can result from various causes, including the presence of a tumor.

Symptoms of Pituitary Tumors

The symptoms of pituitary tumors can vary widely, depending on the type of tumor and whether it is secreting hormones. Common symptoms include:

Headaches: Often the first symptom reported by patients, headaches can be persistent and may worsen over time.

Vision Problems: Tumors can press on the optic nerves, leading to vision loss or double vision.

Hormonal Imbalances: Symptoms related to hormonal dysregulation, such as changes in menstrual cycles, infertility, weight changes, and changes in libido, can occur depending on the type of tumor.

Fatigue and Weakness: Patients may experience general fatigue or weakness due to hormonal imbalances.

Mood Changes: Depression, anxiety, and other mood disturbances can arise as a result of hormonal fluctuations.

Diagnosis of Pituitary Tumors

Diagnosis typically begins with a thorough medical history and physical examination. If a pituitary tumor is suspected, the following tests may be conducted:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): This imaging technique provides detailed images of the brain and pituitary gland, helping to identify the size and location of the tumor.

Hormonal Blood Tests: Blood tests can measure hormone levels to determine if the pituitary gland is functioning properly.

Visual Field Testing: This test assesses any changes in vision that may indicate pressure on the optic nerves.

Pituitary Tumors Treatment Options

Once diagnosed, the treatment plan for pituitary tumors is tailored to the individual, considering the type of tumor, its size, the symptoms it causes, and the overall health of the patient. Treatment options include:

1. Observation

In cases where the tumor is small, non-functional, and not causing significant symptoms, a "watch and wait" approach may be recommended. Regular monitoring through MRI scans and hormonal assessments can ensure that any changes are caught early.

2. Medication

For functional tumors, particularly prolactinomas, medication is often the first line of treatment. Dopamine agonists, such as cabergoline and bromocriptine, can effectively reduce tumor size and hormone levels. These medications are particularly effective for prolactin-secreting adenomas and are associated with fewer side effects compared to surgery.

3. Surgery

Surgical intervention is often necessary for larger tumors or those causing significant symptoms. specializes in endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery, a minimally invasive technique that allows access to the pituitary gland through the nasal cavity. This approach offers several advantages:

Reduced Recovery Time: Patients typically experience faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Less Pain and Scarring: Smaller incisions result in less postoperative pain and minimal scarring.

Lower Risk of Complications: This approach minimizes damage to surrounding tissues and structures, reducing the risk of complications.

4. Radiation Therapy

In some cases, radiation therapy may be recommended, either as a primary treatment or as an adjunct to surgery, particularly for tumors that cannot be completely resected. Options include conventional radiation therapy and more advanced techniques such as Gamma Knife radiosurgery, which targets the tumor with high precision while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.

Post-Treatment Care and Follow-Up

After treatment for pituitary tumors, ongoing monitoring is essential to assess hormone levels and detect any recurrence of the tumor. Patients may require regular follow-up with an endocrinologist to manage hormonal imbalances and ensure optimal health outcomes.

Lifestyle Adjustments

Patients are often encouraged to make lifestyle adjustments to support their recovery and overall health. This may include:

Balanced Diet: Proper nutrition can help manage symptoms and improve overall well-being.

Regular Exercise: Engaging in regular physical activity can enhance mood and energy levels.

Stress Management: Techniques such as meditation, yoga, or counseling can help manage stress and emotional health.

Conclusion: The Importance of Specialized Care in Pituitary Tumors Treatment

The management of pituitary tumors requires a multidisciplinary approach, with expertise from neurosurgeons, endocrinologists, and other healthcare professionals. Dr. Robert Louis, a fellowship-trained neurosurgeon, offers cutting-edge treatment options for patients in Newport Beach and Orange County, specializing in minimally invasive techniques to ensure the best outcomes.By understanding the various types of pituitary tumors and their treatment options, patients can make informed decisions about their care. Whether through observation, medication, surgery, or radiation therapy, the goal is to alleviate symptoms, restore hormonal balance, and improve the quality of life.For anyone facing the challenges of pituitary tumors, seeking the guidance of a specialized treatment center can make all the difference. With the right approach and support, patients can navigate their journey toward recovery with confidence and hope.

A cyst was identified prior to me becoming pregnant. They advised it was a rathke cleft. I had prolactin tested twice. Once was high 30.4 (range ended at 26) and another time it was 27.1 (range ended at 30) about a year later. I’m currently 5 weeks and am worried about its effect on my pregnancy.

So I’m getting a second opinion about my brain. I firmly believe my rathke’s cleft cyst has been symptomatic for a long time and is causing a large amount of my pain and discomfort but my neurologist refuses to listen to investigate. And whatever is going on with my brain, it’s now progressed to seizures. Fucking awesome

Please Help My Friend’s Brother!

My friend’s brother needs surgery and any donation or reblog would help a ton!

Here is the GoFundMe link

This is an official gofundme for my brother's surgery and following recovery. He was recently diagnosed with a Rathke Cleft Cyst, which is a rare lump that can form before birth, and it's pressing pretty heavily on his pituitary gland and ocular nerve.  It causes some terrible episodes of pain, vision loss, nausea, loss of muscle control, etc., and it's a more of a time sensitive issue since it is a cyst.

He's lost his health insurance since he's been out of work and about to move back in with my parents (he's been offered our home as well) because he has no way to pay his own rent/bills currently. Because of the "headaches", he also shouldn't be alone so the move will be pretty long term.

He's only 26 and lost so much. He's always been a big outdoorsy guy and he's basically stuck in an apartment right now with the curtains closed all day. I want to see him get this surgery, get his independence back, and not have to drown in medical debt.

The money will go 3 ways (if we make the entire goal) 1) Our car needs an oil pump, which makes life a million times easier. They are moving closer to us and I almost missed my flight to see him 2 weeks ago because of our car acting up. 2) The surgery itself. As much as possible. Hopefully all of it. 3) Recovery. Even after surgery, he's been told there's no guarantee the episodes will fully go away, but hopefully he'll be able to get out and enjoy things more. Anything left over will be residual medical bills, medications, new savings, start over money. Thank you in advance to any and all help!! This kid means the world to me.
