Abstract
Pituitary apoplexy has not been reported in the setting of lymphocytic hypophysitis. The authors present the case of a woman with sudden vision loss and headache. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed focal hemorrhages in a sellar lesion with suprasellar extension. The results of histopathological analysis were consistent with lymphocytic hypophysitis.
