Pituitary apoplexy is a rare but life-threatening medical emergency that results from either a sudden hemorrhage or infarction in a pituitary tumor. Unrecognized pituitary apoplexy can lead to serious hormonal and neuro-ophthamic complications and even death. A major challenge in the diagnosis of pituitary apoplexy is that majority of such patients don’t have a prior diagnosis of pituitary adenoma. Emergency Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the pituitary gland (which may not be readily available in many emergency rooms) is the diagnostic tool of choice for this condition. In this paper, we are discussing a previously healthy patient who presented with sudden severe headache and confusion and found to have pituitary apoplexy with emphasis on early recognition and complications of this condition.
