This volume covers the most recent scientific findings of the syndromes of hormone resistance in the HPT axis, i.e., thyroid hormone resistance and resistance to TSH action. Mechanisms of action of the various hormones, etiopathology of the syndromes, instruments for diagnosis, as well as the difficulties in managing these diseases are covered. In general, these disorders of HPT axis are uncommon and thus difficult to diagnose and treat. As a result, this book is a useful resource to clinicians and helps delineate the clinical flow-chart for both diagnosis and treatment.

Currently, surgical management provides the definitive treatment of choice for most pituitary adenomas, craniopharyngiomas and meningiomas of the sellar region. The elegant minimally invasive transnasal endoscopic approach to the sella turcica and the anterior skull base has added a new dimension of versatility to pituitary surgery and can be adapted to many lesions in the region. In this multi-author book with numerous color illustrations the main aspects of the endonasal endoscopic approach to the skull base are presented, starting with a clear description of the endoscopic anatomy, the panoramic view afforded by the endoscope and the development of effective instruments and adjuncts. After the diagnostic studies, the strictly surgical features are considered in detail. The standard technique is described and particular aspects are treated, including the new extended approaches to the cavernous sinus, spheno-ethmoid planum and clival regions. The book stresses the importance of teamwork and has been produced by one of the pioneering groups in the field of endoscopic approaches to the pituitary. It is a useful guide primarily for neurosurgeons and sinonasal endoscopic surgeons but also for other specialists involved in the diagnosis and treatment of skull base lesions..
