BACKGROUND
Pituitary apoplexy occurs due to infarction or hemorrhage, within a pituitary adenoma or a nontumorous pituitary gland and can have catastrophic consequences. Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a severe manifestation of the spectrum of dengue virus infection and is characterized by
Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is an endocrine emergency resulting from hemorrhage or infarction within a pituitary tumor or non-tumorous pituitary gland. The most important predisposing factors for PA are cerebral angiographic procedures, systemic hypertension, surgeries, head injury, coagulopathies, and
OBJECTIVE
To describe pituitary apoplexy that developed during the course of dengue hemorrhagic fever.
METHODS
We describe the clinical findings, laboratory test results, imaging findings, and clinical course of the study patients.
RESULTS
Patient 1 was a 40-year-old man who developed clinical signs
OBJECTIVE
To present a case of pituitary apoplexy secondary to thrombocytopenia associated with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF).
METHODS
In this case study, we review the presentation, evaluation, diagnosis, and management of a case of pituitary apoplexy in the setting of DHF. We also searched the
A 59 year-old female with hypercereatinekinasemia associated with pituitary apoplexy was presented. The patient showed headache, nausea, vomiting and pyrexia. On admission, slight nuchal rigidity and photophobia were observed. However all the cranial nerves were intact; neither ophthalmoplegia nor
Pituitary apoplexy is an uncommon but life-threatening condition that is often overlooked and underdiagnosed. We report a 45-year-old man who presented to our emergency department with a sudden onset headache, acute confusion, signs of meningeal irritation and ophthalmoplegia. An initial diagnosis
The causes of pituitary apoplexy are unclear. We report a case of pituitary apoplexy presenting with headache and nausea. On June 17th, 1997 a 74-year-old woman had complained of retro-orbital headache, fever and vomiting. A cold was diagnosed for which she recurred medication. In addition to the
OBJECTIVE
To describe a patient with an undiagnosed pituitary macroadenoma, in whom pituitary apoplexy developed after heparin anticoagulation for treatment of unstable angina.
METHODS
We chronicle the clinical course, treatment, and outcome in a 53-year-old woman with pituitary apoplexy. Potential
Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) has been widely recognized in recent decades and is triggered by either physical or psychological stressors.
Case presentation: A
A case of pituitary apoplexy which occurred in a patient with prolactinoma is reported. The signs and symptoms on presentation were headache, loss of vision, sixth-nerve palsy, subarachnoid haemorrhage and fever. Physicians are alerted to the necessity of prompt and accurate diagnosis in this
A 56-year-old man noted sudden onset of headache, fever, right pupil-spared oculomotor nerve palsy and consciousness disturbance. Swelling of pituitary with T1 high intensity on brain MRI suggested the diagnosis of pituitary apoplexy. Considering significant decrease of pituitary anterior lobe
In 12 cases of pituitary apoplexy, a preexisting unsuspected adenoma was found. The initial manifestations were sudden onset of headache (12 patients), signs of meningeal irritation (10) with fever (four), altered consciousness (12), and ophthalmologic disturbances (eight). The diagnosis was
A case of pituitary apoplexy, which was initially misdiagnosed as 'acute frontal sinusitis', is reported. The presenting symptoms and signs of the patient were headache, moderate fever, left periorbital edema, marked tenderness over the left frontal sinus and purulent secretion over the left middle
Pituitary apoplexy is a rare but life-threatening disorder. Clinical presentation of this condition includes severe headaches, impaired consciousness, fever, visual disturbance, and variable ocular paresis. The clinical presentation of meningeal irritation is very rare. Nonetheless, if present and
