Abstract

Acromegaly is a rare, chronic disorder that mostly results from growth hormone (GH)-secreting pituitary adenoma. It is a rare neuroendocrine condition that can lead to significant morbidity. Transsphenoidal surgery is the first-line treatment of this adenoma. We report a case of recovery from acromegaly after post transsphenoidal surgery.
