A case of giant pituitary neuroendocrine tumor presented along with acute visual loss due to pituitary apoplexy after receiving a COVID-19 vaccination is reported.
A 45-year-old man was referred for a giant pituitary tumor with bitemporal hemianopsia. A surgical procedure was planned and then delayed due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Japan, with a Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine administered while awaiting surgery. Three days after the second COVID-19 vaccination the patient noted a progressively worsening headache that caused pituitary apoplexy and then a decrease in vision. Emergency surgery was thus performed.
Pituitary apoplexy is a rare and life-threatening complication that may occur after undergoing a COVID-19 vaccination.
报告1例巨大垂体神经内分泌肿瘤患者,在接种新冠病毒疫苗后因垂体卒中出现急性视力丧失。
一名45岁男性因巨大垂体肿瘤伴双颞侧偏盲前来就诊。计划进行手术,但由于日本爆发新冠疫情而推迟,在等待手术期间接种了辉瑞/生物科技公司的疫苗。在第二次接种新冠疫苗三天后,患者出现头痛逐渐加重,导致垂体卒中,随后视力下降。因此进行了急诊手术。
垂体卒中是一种罕见且危及生命的并发症,可能在接种新冠疫苗后发生。
