What is the survival rate of stroke after pitutary tumor removal?

[nona2011]

My  husband just had pitutary tumor removed 7 weeks ago and shortly after went into a coma.They had him on seizure medications but still he started having siezures. After trial and tribulations he was put on VERSED 16mg. which is like an induced coma, to try and stop the seizures. Sometime  in their he had some strokes.My question with his unresponsive pupils,whats his future?Will his pupils become normal? He had little movement on his left side but can blink his eyes when they are opened.Would love some feedback and some thoghts,

Thanks

Wow. I am shocked and sorry to hear about your husband. i don't know the answer to your question as I am just another patient. It does sound very serous though like it was a very bad stroke. What do the doctors say?

I am so sorry to hear about your husband. It is actually pretty unusual to get strokes post-op - with an experienced surgeon, they can avoid the structures. It can still happen rarely just with anatomical issues and can be totally unpredictable. It can happen with any surgery.

That being said, have you spoken to the doctors about his prognosis? Did they identify where the stroke happened? Are they planning to bring him out of the coma in the near future? Have you spoken to the social worker, nurse staff or doctor in charge to get a clearer picture of what to expect? If not, I would ask them the questions as even though you can look up rates, you want to know about your husband's case.
