The median age was 15 (IQR 13-18) years. Corticotropinomas (32.4%) and somatotropinomas (25.7%) were common, with 1 case of TSHoma and pituitary blastoma. The most common presentation was headache (57%) overall and menstrual irregularities (64.2%) in girls. Most (78%) had macroadenomas. Prolactinomas showed an excellent response to primary medical therapy (83.3%). Transsphenoidal surgery was performed in 81% of patients. Diabetes insipidus (30%) and hyponatremia (26.7%) emerged as common postoperative complications. Adjuvant medical management was required in 25%, and radiotherapy in 18%. Remission rates in Cushing's and acromegaly were 62.5% and 57.8%, respectively, with long-term hormone deficits noted in one-third of patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PPAs have unique features and management challenges, including effects on growth and puberty.
