Pituitary apoplexy is an acute clinical syndrome caused by infarction and/or hemorrhage of pituitary adenoma, which typically presents with severe headache, visual deterioration, and endocrine abnormalities. However, temporal lobe seizure (and temporal lobe epilepsy) has not been A 30-year-old woman had uterine bleeding and hypotension after delivery. Hyponatremic seizures and a mild headache prompted early neuroimaging, which disclosed an enlarged nonhemorrhagic pituitary gland with subsequent involution consistent with pituitary apoplexy (Sheehan syndrome). Endocrinologic
BACKGROUND
Pituitary apoplexy in humans is a clinical syndrome resulting from sudden infarction, hemorrhage, or both in a normal or an adenomatous pituitary gland.
OBJECTIVE
Describe a clinical syndrome in dogs similar to pituitary apoplexy in humans.
METHODS
Four dogs exhibiting a sudden onset of
Pituitary apoplexy results from necrosis or haemorrhage of a pituitary adenoma. This rare complication occurs in 2 to 10% of operated adenomas. The acute form results from massive intrapituitary bleeding leading to violent headache, meningeal signs, impaired conscience and ophthalmology signs,
Pituitary apoplexy is a syndrome which has been described in humans caused by acute haemorrhage or infarction within a pituitary tumour or a non-tumorous pituitary gland. This report describes the authors' observations of a dog in which vomiting, visual disturbances, seizures, altered consciousness
Between 1987 and 1988, we utilized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of seven cases of "subacute" pituitary apoplexy, that is, intra-adenomatous pituitary hemorrhage associated with clinical symptoms atypical of acute pituitary apoplexy. These symptoms lasted longer than 24 hours and
Rathke's cleft cysts (RCC) are sellar-suprasellar cysts that are usually discovered incidentally given their indolent clinical course. When symptoms do arise, the most common clinical presentation is headache, visual field deficits due to visual pathway compression, diplopia due to cavernous sinus
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome is characterized by a reversible segmental and multifocal vasoconstriction of cerebral arteries, and severe headaches with or without focal neurologic deficits or seizures. A 15-year-old boy presented with thunderclap headache. He had severe
We evaluated the results of medical treatment for male prolactinomas. We encountered eight patients with male prolactinomas. The age was 25 to 54 years old (mean 43 years) and the chief clinical symptoms were visual acuity/field defect in three patients, pituitary apoplexy in one patient,
Pituitary tumors (PTs) are a heterogeneous group of lesions of the central nervous system that are usually benign. Most of them occur sporadically, but 5% can do so within family syndromes, usually at a young age. There are differences by sex, age, race, and genetic factors in the prevalence of
OBJECTIVE
Perivascular, or Virchow-Robin, spaces of the brain represent interstitial fluid-filled spaces continuous with subpial spaces, and not invagination of cerebrospinal fluid-filled subarachnoid spaces. Regression of a dilated, or even giant, perivascular space occurs rarely. The purpose of
Physiologic alterations during pregnancy create an environment for the occurrence of disease states that are either unique to pregnancy, occur more frequently in pregnancy, or require special management considerations that may be different from the nonpregnancy state. In the realm of cerebrovascular
