In the original publication of the article, the following errors has been occurred.

Introduction:

  1. In children pituitary adenomas account for less than 3% of all intracranial tumours [1, 3].

  2. However, a recent study found that in children below the age of 19 pituitary tumours made up 19.7% of all brain tumours and 77.9% of these were adenomas [4].

Discussion:

In a review [18] of eleven studies of 166 adult patients (>16 years old), 10% had enlarged lesions, 7% had decreased lesions, and 83% had stable lesions [16].

This has been corrected in this paper.
