Pituitary calcification occurs commonly in lactotroph or somatotroph adenoma but rare in chomophobe or gonadotroph adenoma. On imaging, it can mimic hemorrhage, hence may masquerade pituitary apoplexy if patient present with neurological manifestations. We present a case of pituitary calcification which mimicked pituitary apoplexy.
垂体钙化常见于催乳素瘤或生长激素瘤,但在嫌色细胞瘤或促性腺激素瘤中罕见。在影像学上,它可类似出血,因此,如果患者出现神经症状,可能会伪装成垂体卒中。我们报告一例伪装成垂体卒中的垂体钙化病例。
