  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A case is reported of a pituitary apoplexy which shows remarkable improvement of visual acuity and field by transsphenoidal surgery performed 33 days af-ter hemorrhage.

Possible factors contributing to this excellent surgical outcome are speculated about as follows; atrophic brain (wide suprasellar cistern), destruction of the sella floor by the tumor (infrasellar/extracranial decompres-sion), no vasospasm (pure intracapsular hemorrhage), no hypopituitarism, less invasive operation (transsphe-noidal surgery), and so on.

Transsphenoidal surgery is thought to be worth per-forming for pituitary apoplexy, even if timing for the operation is later than the acute stage and even if initial visual impairment is severe.
