Successful pregnancies after pituitary tumor apoplexy: A case report and review of literature

Abstract

Pituitary apoplexy (PA) during pregnancy is a rare acute clinical situation which could have life-threatening consequences. Here we reported a case of 31-year-old woman presenting with PA at the end of second trimester of her first pregnancy. We also have reviewed reported cases of PA during pregnancy and conducted a detailed discussion on presenting symptoms, underlying pituitary pathology, management of apoplexy during pregnancy and outcomes.
