Background and objectiveDouble and multiple pituitary adenomas (PAs) are discovered in 2.6-3.3% of patients with Cushing’s disease and in approximately 1% of autopsies. Undiagnosed and unremoved second PA may be the cause of unsuccessful surgical treatment of Cushing’s disease. In this study, we aimed to describe our experience with the detection and treatment of patients with double PAs.MethodsAll patients in our series underwent transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) with endoscopic and neuronavigation assistance. Before 2017, we completely relied on MRI findings while planning surgery. From 2017 onwards, a broad revision of the sella turcica was conducted during surgeries regardless of the MRI data.ResultsOverall, 81 patients were included in the study: 51 before 2017 and 30 in 2017 after. In the pre-2017 group of patients, three out of 51 had double adenomas, and all of them were seen on MRI images. We encountered four more double PAs during the next period. Only two of them had been predicted by MRI. The remission rate was higher after 2017 and amounted to 90% (27 out of 30 patients). In contrast, before the implementation of total revision (pre-2017), our success rate was 82% (42 out of 51 cases). Both neoplasms in cases of double PAs yielded similar histological and immunohistochemical (IHC) features but were consistent with multiple PAs.ConclusionsAlthough the improvement in our results in recent years cannot be clearly attributed to a targeted search for the second microadenoma, we still recommend performing a broad inspection of the sella turcica after the excision of the pituitary microadenoma regardless of preoperative MRI data.
