  • Title: [Pituitary adenoma apoplexy after spinal anaesthesia. Report of two cases and review of the literature].
    Author: González-Tortosa J, Poza-Poza M, Ruiz-Espejo-Vilar A.
    Journal: Neurocirugia (Astur); 2009 Oct; 20(5):484-93. PubMed ID: 19830374.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of pituitary apoplexy occurring after spinal anaesthesia are described. Both presented with headache and III par palsy, one of them with additional visual disturbance and hyponatremia. A bibliographical review has been done, looking for early diagnostic keys. We propose the arterial hypotension as a possible pathogenetic mechanism of pituitary adenoma apoplexy.
