Pituitary infarction or apoplexy with spontaneous cure of the underlying pituitary adenoma is rare. In the paediatric population, we found only a few reported cases. We report a rare case of pituitary infarction progressing to CSF-sella syndrome (or empty sella) in an 11-year-old girl. She presented with sudden onset vomiting, moderate headaches, lethargy, weight loss, and tall stature above her mid-parental height. She did not have any severe symptoms of apoplexy. Her clinical and radiological findings suggested infarction of a pituitary lesion, such as a pituitary adenoma or infarction of a cystic lesion, such as a Rathke’s cleft cyst. In this report, we discuss her case of probable infarction of a growth hormone secreting adenoma with a phase of accelerated growth ending up with total anterior pituitary insufficiency. The differential diagnosis and review of the rare cases of paediatric pituitary infarction in the literature will be discussed.
