dc.description.abstract | Pituitary apoplexy, which results from spontaneous hemorrhage into a pituitary adenoma, may be associated with a number of clinical settings including head trauma, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, acute hypovolemic shock, contrast media usage, and anticoagulation therapy. Clinical manifestations are due to the mechanical compression of the optic apparatus and cavernous sinus content, and pituitary insufficiency. Pituitary insufficiency does not recover in most of the cases. Ophthalmoplegia may resolve spontaneously over time or after surgery. Rarely, pituitary apoplexy may be followed by an endocrinologic cure. We present an apoplectic somatotropinoma in the setting of coronary angiography and unstable angina pectoris, which was spontaneously cured after pituitary apoplexy. This is one of few reports of pituitary apoplexy in association with contrast medium and anticoagulant-antiaggregant drug administration. | en_US |
