Abstract:: Pituitary adenomas are capable of infiltrating adjacent structures such as bone, dura mater or the sphenoid sinus. The degree of invasion into the parasellar space, particularly into the cavernous sinus, is a significant prognostic element for both surgical outcome and recurrence. However, a distinction should be made between true invasion, e.g. infiltrative growth into the cavernous sinus or solely a displacement of parasellar structures due to tumor mass. The aim of the diploma thesis was to demonstrate a statistical correlation between invasion of pituitary adenomas into the compartments of the cavernous sinus and morphological characteristics.
