Abstrak
Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is an acute and potentially vision-threatening clinical condition caused by hemorrhage or infarction of the pituitary gland. PA usually occurs in a pre-existing pituitary tumor. Severe headache is almost universal and is often accompanied by hormonal deficiencies that require immediate empiric treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging is the recommended diagnostic imaging modality. Patients without acute neurological decline can be managed conservatively.
