Tension pneumosella has been recognized as a very rare complication of pituitary transsphenoidal surgery. To the best of our knowledge, we report the second case of a pituitary adenoma "pneumo-apoplexy", which is characterized by findings consistent with tension pneumosella in the context of apoplexy of a pituitary adenoma; although it is an extremely rare diagnosis, it should be considered in patients with compatible clinical and radiological findings, particularly with a previous history of transsphenoidal pituitary surgery.
张力性气囊肿已被公认为垂体经蝶窦手术非常罕见的并发症。据我们所知,我们报告了第二例垂体腺瘤“气性卒中”,其特征是在垂体腺瘤卒中的情况下出现与张力性气囊肿一致的表现;尽管这是一种极其罕见的诊断,但对于具有相符临床和影像学表现的患者,尤其是有垂体经蝶窦手术史的患者,应考虑到这种情况。
