Abstract

Pituitary apoplexy is a clinical syndrome that occurs secondary to abrupt haemorrhage or infarction and can cause a presentation with headache, visual disturbances, and various neurological deficits. Pituitary apoplexy is a rare clinical syndrome that is often misdiagnosed or discovered late in its clinical course due to its relatively nonspecific clinical presentation.
