Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pituitary apoplexy refers to a clinical syndrome caused by the sudden expansion of a pituitary tumor that compresses nearby structures. In spite of much debate, if there is a neurolo-ophthalmic problem, emergent surgical decompression has been known as the ideal treatment. However, we experienced a rare case in which a pituitary tumor showed spontaneous regression after apoplexy. The tumor was only given conservative care. Thus, the authors will report on the case with a brief literature review.
