Pituitary and Skull base Center
Minimally invasive, Image Guided, Patient-Centered
Our center brings together a multidisciplinary team of experts—including neurosurgical, endocrinology, otolaryngology, neuro-ophthalmology, radiation oncology, and pathology specialists—to deliver seamless, collaborative care for complex conditions affecting the pituitary gland and skull base. We offer comprehensive evaluation and tailored treatment strategies, ranging from observation and medical management to advanced minimally invasive and open surgical interventions—all grounded in cutting-edge research and compassionate patient support.
Our Pituitary & Skull Base Center unites a highly experienced, multidisciplinary team—encompassing neurosurgery, neuro‑otolaryngology (ENT), endocrinology, neuro‑ophthalmology, radiation oncology, and pathology—to deliver seamless, collaborative care for complex pituitary and skull base disorders. Utilizing state-of-the-art surgical navigation systems and image-guided technologies, we offer exceptionally precise, safe interventions. We are proud to have pioneered minimally invasive approaches—many developed by our surgeons and subsequently adopted globally—including advanced endoscopic endonasal techniques and keyhole craniotomies, reducing recovery times and enhancing outcomes. Our work features prominently in Dr. Kofi O. Boahene’s authoritative textbook on minimally invasive skull base surgery, a cornerstone reference in the field.
Common conditions we treat
-
Pituitary Adenomas & Hormone-Secreting Tumors
Benign tumors such as prolactinomas, growth hormone–secreting adenomas (acromegaly), and ACTH-secreting adenomas (Cushing’s disease)—evaluated and treated with precision-tailored endocrine pathways and minimally invasive surgery.
​
-
Craniopharyngiomas
Rare, benign sellar region tumors managed with advanced endoscopic access to preserve visual and hormonal function.
​
-
Chordomas & Chondrosarcomas
Aggressive bony tumors at the skull base, tackled with high-precision navigation and minimally invasive removal to maximize tumor clearance while sparing critical anatomy.
​
-
Meningiomas
Arising from the meninges near the anterior or middle skull base, treated via targeted endoscopic or keyhole approaches to reduce complications and improve cosmetic outcomes.
​​
-
Paragangliomas & Glomus Tumors
Vascular tumors of the skull base managed via multidisciplinary planning, image-guided surgery, and minimally invasive resection.
​
-
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Leaks & Fistulas
Repair of leaks through endoscopic endonasal techniques, allowing durable closure with minimal disruption.
​
-
Sinonasal & Nasopharyngeal Tumors
Managed with precise endoscopic skull base resection to maximize tumor removal while preserving nearby vital structures.
​
-
Skull Base Fractures & Craniofacial Malformations
Including encephaloceles and congenital defects, treated with collaborative reconstruction and minimally invasive repair.
