Three cases of pituitary abscess are presented. The history of recurrent attacks of aseptic meningitis, together with radiological and clinical features suggestive of pituitary tumor, appear to form a fairly typical picture of the condition. Long follow-up was possible in two of the cases. There are no radiological features which distinguish the lesion from pituitary tumor, hence the importance of recognizing the significance of such a clinical presentation with radiological evidence of sellar enlargement. Pituitary abscesses seem to occur in preexisting pituitary tumors. The possible relationship with pituitary infarction is discussed.
本文报告了3例垂体脓肿病例。无菌性脑膜炎反复发作的病史，加上提示垂体肿瘤的影像学和临床特征，似乎构成了该病相当典型的表现。其中2例病例进行了长期随访。没有影像学特征可将该病变与垂体肿瘤区分开来，因此认识到这种伴有蝶鞍扩大影像学证据的临床表现的重要性。垂体脓肿似乎发生在先前存在的垂体肿瘤中。文中讨论了与垂体梗死的可能关系。
