Treatment for Pituitary Tumors

There are many reasons why patients might need to undergo pituitary surgery, from pituitary tumors to craniopharyngioma, Rathke’s Cysts and other conditions. Dr. Steven Bramwit, M.D. of Stamford ENT provides Pituitary Surgery for a wide range of conditions for patients in the Westchester, NY and Stamford, CT areas. 


Almost all pituitary tumors are benign, but they can cause health issues by putting pressure on the pituitary gland or other parts of the nervous system or they can cause an overabundance of hormones. In these cases, pituitary surgery may be necessary to help prevent or treat health issues associated with the tumor.
