Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is a rare clinical syndrome caused by sudden hemorrhaging and/or infarction of the pituitary gland, generally within a pituitary adenoma. The main symptom is sudden-onset severe headache, associated with visual disorders or ocular palsy. Corticotropic deficiency may be life-threatening if left untreated. Computed tomography (CT)

Abstract OBJECTIVE: Pituitary apoplexy is a rare yet potentially fatal disease. We reviewed the combined experience of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA, and Groote Schuur Hospital, University of Cape Town, South Africa, with 62 cases of pituitary apoplexy.

Surgical management of pituitary adenomas continues to be a safe and effective method for treating many patients with these lesions. The goal of overall management should be to provide the patient with the most effective means of long-term control of this benign but potentially disabling disease. Currently, surgery has a significant role.

Pituitary enlargement mimicking pituitary tumor
Journal of Neurosurgery, 1985✓ Primary hypothyroidism can result in reactive enlargement of the pituitary gland which is indistinguishable from primary pituitary lesions on computerized tomography (CT) scans. The presenting symptoms may be due to pituitary gland enlargement, as in two of the three cases reported here.

Pituitary function after pituitary apoplexy
The American Journal of Medicine, 1978Pituitary function was studied in nine patients who had recovered from pituitary apoplexy. All the patients recovered spontaneously; none required immediate surgery. Four of the patients had acromegaly, two had pituitary-dependent Cushing's syndrome, and a "functionless" pituitary adenoma was found in three. Low serum growth hormone concentrations were

Pituitary hyperplasia mimicking pituitary tumor
Surgical Neurology, 1994Reactive enlargement of the pituitary gland in primary end organ failure may be indistinguishable from primary pituitary lesions in clinical presentation and on magnetic resonance imaging. The diagnosis of pituitary hyperplasia secondary to end organ failure must be based on endocrinologic investigations.

Pituitary carcinoma is a extremely rare and is characterized by a very poor prognosis. Even if at diagnosis the presence of metastases is required to define a pituitary carcinoma, the lesion was almost invariably diagnosed first as a benign pituitary tumor, that after a variable period of latency, ranging from few months to many years, changed its ...

Incidental pituitary masses are commonly found during CT and MR imaging performed for a variety of reasons. Screening for hormone oversecretion by these tumors seems to be warranted. Patients with lesions greater than 1 cm should be screened for hypopituitarism.
