Resumo
Prolactin secreting tumors are very rare among children, than in adults. Although treatment strategies for prolactinomas in adults are well established and at present time the preference is given to dopamine agonists, the use of these drugs in pediatric patients is limited due to lack of information on safety and efficiency in this group of patients. Cabergoline is a drug of choice for treatment adult patients with prolactinomas. This clinical material demonstrates high efficacy and good tolerability of cabergoline in children and adolescents with prolactinomas and idiopathic hyperprolactinemia. It will allow in future to refrain from surgical treatment and reduce the number of patients with postoperative complications.
