  • Title: Apoplexy in a prolactin microadenoma leading to remission of galactorrhea and amenorrhea.
    Author: Corkill G, Hanson FW, Sobel RA, Keller TM.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1981 Feb; 15(2):114-5. PubMed ID: 7195610.
    Abstract:
    A 28-year-old woman with bilateral headaches and vomiting was found to have normal prolactin levels despite an eight-year history of intermittent galactorrhea and amenorrhea and the current finding of a pituitary microadenoma. The microadenoma contained hemosiderin. It is concluded that pituitary apoplexy is not confined to large tumors that have outgrown their blood supply, but can occur in microadenomas with regression of a positive endocrinopathy.
