Pituitary tumors are usually identified through blood work and MRI. Usually an endocrinologist, who specializes in pituitary tumors and their treatment is required and sometimes a neurosurgeon.

My endocrinologist, neurologist, neurosurgeon, and ent were the group of doctors monitoring whether surgery was an option and what the best care plan would be. Initially, my tumor was diagnosed through a CT scan. After the er doctors findings, I was referred to a team of the aboved mentioned doctors. An MRI and a blood panel was done. Primarily to see the size, to see if it was suppressing the optic nerve, to see if it had begun to invade my sinuses, and to see if my hormone levels were abnormal.
