Pituitary apoplexy and vasospasm.

E R Cardoso, E W Peterson

    Surgical Neurology
    |November 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pituitary apoplexy can lead to cerebral vasospasm, a serious complication. Angiography is crucial for diagnosing and managing prolonged symptoms following pituitary apoplexy.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Pituitary apoplexy is a rare but severe endocrine emergency.
    • Cerebral vasospasm is a known complication of various neurological events.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of pituitary apoplexy complicated by cerebral vasospasm were analyzed.
    • Patients presented with protracted clinical courses post-pituitary apoplexy.

    Findings:

    • Cerebral vasospasm can occur as a complication of pituitary apoplexy.
    • Angiography is essential for identifying cerebral vasospasm in these patients.
    • The pathophysiology of post-apoplectic vasospasm warrants further investigation.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition and diagnosis of cerebral vasospasm are critical for improved patient outcomes.
    • Angiography should be considered in the workup of patients with prolonged symptoms after pituitary apoplexy.
    • Understanding the pathophysiology may lead to targeted therapeutic strategies.
