Pituitary Adenoma Concept Map

A pituitary adenoma develops from uncontrolled cell growth in the anterior pituitary gland, which can cause physiological changes and hormonal imbalances. Common symptoms include persistent headaches, vision problems, and eye drooping due to pressure on adjacent structures. Left untreated, complications may arise such as premature or delayed puberty, infertility, amenorrhea or menorrhagia due to over or under production of hormones like follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone.
