Pituitary apoplexy is defined as a clinical syndrome that may include headache, visual deficits, ophthalmoplegia, or altered mental status. It may result from either infarction or hemorrhage of the pituitary gland. Prognosis is significantly improved with early diagnosis and surgical treatment. We report two cases in which diffusion-weighted MR imaging assisted in the early detection of acute pituitary infarction and led, in one case, to surgical intervention early in the course of clinical apoplexy, with resulting complete recovery.
垂体卒中被定义为一种临床综合征,可能包括头痛、视力缺损、眼肌麻痹或精神状态改变。它可能由垂体梗死或出血引起。早期诊断和手术治疗可显著改善预后。我们报告两例病例,其中弥散加权磁共振成像有助于早期发现急性垂体梗死,在一例病例中,在临床卒中过程早期促成了手术干预,最终实现完全康复。
