  • Title: [Pituitary apoplexy after pneumoencefalogram].
    Author: Perpétuo FO.
    Journal: Arq Neuropsiquiatr; 1976 Sep; 34(3):298-301. PubMed ID: 962642.
    Abstract:
    A case of pituitary apoplexy following the performance of a pneumoencephalogram is reported. No such a case has been published in the literature, to the author's knowledge. The etiopathogenetic mechanism is discussed and a recomendation is made that surgery should be performed straight after completion of the pneumoencephalogram, should it show a significant supraselar extension of a pituitary adenoma, even in the absence of increased intracranial pressure.
