Surgical Strategy of Pituitary and Cavernous Sinus Exploration in MRI-Negative Cushing's Disease after Unsuccessful Surgery.

MRI-Negative Cushing's disease continues to be a challenging disease despite better imaging and techniques. The situation can be more complicated in the setting of prior surgery or failed surgery. Often, a narrow surgical corridor is encountered with robust cavernous or intercavernous sinuses. Controlling venous oozing properly is critical to achieving better outcomes. In this video, the authors present a case of MRI-Negative Cushing's disease after previous unsuccessful surgery. The pituitary tumor was detected on the left side of the gland, close to the cavernous sinus. Margin-plus resection is important if it can be achieved. Biochemical remission was achieved after surgery. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2023.4.FOCVID2312.
