Hypophysitis of the pituitary gland is a rare inflammatory disorder and broadly classified as primary and secondary hypophysitis. Primary hypophysitis is mainly of lymphocytic, granulomatous, and xanthomatous types. Among the various primary hypophysitis, granulomatous hypophysitis is rare type with an incidence of 1 in 10 million. The various forms of hypophysitis are misdiagnosed as pituitary adenoma in 40% cases. Idiopathic granulomatous hypophysitis is even rarer inflammatory disorder accounting for <1% of cases involving panhypopituitarism with headache and visual disturbances. We report idiopathic granulomatous hypophysitis in a 28-year-old female presenting with blurring of vision and headache.
垂体炎是一种罕见的炎症性疾病，大致分为原发性和继发性垂体炎。原发性垂体炎主要有淋巴细胞性、肉芽肿性和黄色瘤性类型。在各种原发性垂体炎中，肉芽肿性垂体炎是罕见类型，发病率为千万分之一。40%的垂体炎病例被误诊为垂体腺瘤。特发性肉芽肿性垂体炎是更罕见的炎症性疾病，占伴有头痛和视力障碍的全垂体功能减退病例的不到1%。我们报告一例28岁女性特发性肉芽肿性垂体炎，表现为视力模糊和头痛。
