The webinar, “Headaches and Pituitary Tumors” will discuss the following topics:
The various types and features of headaches associated with pituitary and parasellar tumors Potential mechanisms of headache formation from pituitary and parasellar lesions Probability that pre-operative headaches would improve with surgical resection.
Recognition of red flags that should recognize a headache as an emergency
