Abstract

Background: Pituitary adenomas are benign tumors whose incidence and/or prevalence are difficult to assess in the general population. Our objective was to determine the epidemiological data of pituitary adenomas from hospital data. Methods: A cross-sectional study (01 January 2006-31 December 2018) was carried out in the department of neurosurgery of the university hospital center-Yalgado OUEDRAOGO. Patients operated for a pituitary adenoma and having a medical record and anatomopathological confirmation were included in the study. Data were entered and processed using EXCEL 2013 software and Stata13 software. Fischer's exact test was used. A P-value <0.05 was considered a statistically significant difference. Results: The average annual number of patients was 3.92. The average age was 44.55 years. It was found a female and male predominance respectively before and after the age of 40 years. The pituitary adenoma was non-functional in 34 patients including 24 men. The pituitary adenoma was functional in 17 cases including 14 women. Immunostaining was positive at 1, 2 and 3 hormonal axis (es) in 17 cases, 4 cases and 1 case respectively. It was negative in 3 cases. Conclusions: The frequency of pituitary adenomas increases with age in men and vice versa in women. Nonfunctional and functional pituitary adenomas are common in men and women, respectively.
