    The gland has several key anatomical relations: Anteriorly – sphenoid sinus (the pituitary gland is accessed surgically via the sphenoid sinus, known as a trans-sphenoidal approach). Posteriorly – posterior intercavernous sinus, dorsum sellae (posterior wall of the sella turcica), basilar artery and the pons.

    Small pituitary cysts that do not cause symptoms do not require treatment. They are benign, which means they do not spread to other parts of the brain and body, and therefore pose little health risk while they remain small. If a cyst is large enough to cause symptoms, surgery may be done to drain fluid from the cyst or to remove it. Surgery to remove a pituitary cyst involves some risk of lost pituitary function. When that happens, hormone replacement therapy can replace the under-production of specific hormones. Hormone replacement therapy substitutes medically administered hormones for those normally produced by the pituitary gland.
