Abstract:
A case of pituitary apoplexy is reported in a 14-year-old girl who presented with headaches and progressive visual disturbance. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated subacute hemorrhage into a pituitary adenoma. Transsphenoidal removal of the tumor was performed successfully. Pituitary apoplexy in children is rare. Thus we will discuss the clinical features and neuroradiological findings.
