Commentary [Pituitary Adenoma Associated with Intraventricular Meningioma: Case Report]

The authors report the first case of a pituitary tumor associated with a fourth ventricle meningioma. They chose to operate through the posterior fossa tumor. Appropriately, they elected not to obtain a tissue sample of the skull base mass because the diagnosis was established with a prolactin level of 6800 mg/mL. This patient illustrates the rapid response of many macroprolactinomas to medical therapy, obviating the need for surgery.
