A 51-year-old man presented with a pituitary apoplexy with symptoms and signs predominantly of meningitis. Later on, hydrocephalus and an empty sella were disclosed. It is likely that the empty sella and the hydrocephalus were both caused by the adenoma necrosis. Based on this case and cases reported in the literature, it is suggested that concomitant presence of an empty sella and hydrocephalus results from necrosis in a pre-existing pituitary adenoma.
