Pituitary apoplexy (apoplexy—to disable by a stroke) is a clinical syndrome characterized by the abrupt onset of characteristic signs and symptoms, most commonly headache, nausea, visual disturbance, and ophthalmoplegia, in association with hemorrhage or infarction within the pituitary fossa. Because pituitary apoplexy is rare, and because most cases occur suddenly in the absence of prior suspicion for pituitary pathology, it has been a difficult condition to study. Regardless, if apoplexy is diagnosed in a timely fashion and managed appropriately, death should be rare and permanent neurologic complication of the acute event should be uncommon. This chapter will review what is known of the epidemiology of pituitary apoplexy as well as its clinical presentation, management, and prognosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
