Abstract

Objectives. To determine the correlation between the clinical evaluations of the pituitary and hypothalamic status with the imaging classifications of Kassam and Puget.

Material and methods. A study was carried out with a descriptive, correlational and retrospective design; with a convenience sample of a population (N = 1567) diagnosed with intracranial tumors by the Neurosurgery Service of the "Hermanos Ameijeiras" Hospital from January 2014 to December 2018. The variables age, sex, clinical manifestations, tumor location were included, hypothalamic status, pituitary status, imaging characteristics, hypothalamic involvement and relationship with the pituitary stem.

Principal results. The results were collected by a questionnaire; then it was compared by theoretical and statistical methods, systematizing the information using the InfoStat / L package for Windows. Forty-four cases were included, with a mean age of 32 ± 15.8 years, predominantly females (61.4%). The most common  clinical manifestations were headache (88.6%) and visual disorders (77.2%), with lesions larger than 2 cm in  diameter with suprasellar location (75.1%), hypothalamic status Grade II (45.5%) and Grade IV pituitary status  (38.6%) all with enhanced contrast administration. The most significant association was demonstrated  between pituitary and hypothalamic status (r = 0.61, p = <0.0001) and Puget classification (r=  0.31, p = 0.0382).

Conclusions. The craniopharyngioma predominated in women in his second decade of life, with symptoms  headache and visual disorders. The most common location at the region supraselar with presence of cysts,  calcification and luster after the administration of contrast for techniques Computerized Axial Tomography  and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. The most significant correlation was demonstrated between the pituitary  status with Puget's and the hipotalámico's classification.
