Özet
Current medical therapies have made pregnancy possible for women harboring prolactinomas. The purpose of this report is to present a macroprolactinoma- patient, who responded to medical therapy well and conceived successfully. In a 23-year-old woman, who had macroprolactinoma, tumor was shrunk by dopamine agonist therapy into sellar boundaries in 8 months and she became pregnant. She was followed-up during the gestational period until delivery without any problem. With multi-disciplinary approach and using appropriate medical therapy, pregnancy may be achieved in women harboring macroprolactinomas and they can give birth to healthy babies.
