Background: Secondary hormonal deficiency (SHD) in patients with sellar masses (SM) is associated with significant morbidity. Purpose: to compare long-term risk of new-onset SHD in SM found incidentally (ISM) versus those clinically manifesting (CMSM). Methods: From the Halifax Neuropituitary Program’s database, we identified all patients having non-functioning and non-pituitary SM from January 1, 2006, with ≥ 12 months follow-up. Results: There were 214 CMSM (108 with baseline SHD) and 148 ISM (37 with baseline SHD) patients (mean follow-up: 5.7 and 5.0 years, respectively). In patients who underwent early surgery (<90 days from diagnosis), 3-month post-op hormonal function was considered baseline. Despite unchanged tumour size in over 95%, 129 (35.6%) developed new-onset SHD at up to 120 months. The risk of developing new-onset SHD was similar in CMSM and ISM groups (HR = 1.10; CI= 0.69-1.75; p= 0.7), and in surgical and nonsurgical patients (HR=1.24; CI= 0.59-2.61; p = 0.58). Conclusions: More than one third of patients with non-functioning or non-pituitary SM, presenting either with clinical manifestations or as incidental lesions, will develop new-onset SHD. Furthermore, SHD may develop several years later and despite stability of tumors, highlighting the need for ongoing, long-term hormonal assessment.

Incidental Lesions

Three is no branch of neuro-surgery in which the assessment of results is more difficult than in psycho-surgery. The main sources of uncertainty are:(a)Mental impairment or improvement cannot yet be measured as precisely as neurological disorders, such as visual field or motor defects.(b)Spontaneous recovery and the influence of the incidental psychotherapy and drugs involved in any form of surgical attention cannot be evaluated with certainty in many cases.(c)Most of the cytoarchitectural fields of the frontal cortex cannot yet be defined during life by any physiological test or anatomical measurement.(d)Finally, from a technical point of view the surgeon is liable to produce many incidental lesions which cannot be ascertained during the patient's life.

Incidental Lesions

The petrous apex is a pyramidal-shaped structure which is difficult to examine due to difficult anatomical location. Lesions in the petrous apex can be managed surgically or they can be incidental lesions, which are managed conservatively. Petrous apex cephaloceles (PAC) are the cystic lesion due to herniation in the Meckel’s cave of temporal bone. Bilateral PAC is a very rare phenomenon with only 21 cases reported in the literature so far. We present here a case of bilateral PAC, who presented with headache and was managed conservatively.
