| Popis: | We aimed to assess clinical characteristics of apoplexy of pituitary microadenomas compared to macroadenomas. We retrieved clinical records of patients > 18 years old, hospitalized in Rambam hospital between January 2001 and October 2017, with pituitary apoplexy and follow-up of at least one year. We compared clinical course and outcomes of apoplexy between patients with microadenomas and macroadenomas, and between patients who received conservative or surgical treatment. Statistical analysis was done using Fisher’s exact and Mann–Whitney tests. Twenty-seven patients with pituitary apoplexy were included in the final analysis: mean age was 40.7 ± 12.5 years, 13(48%) were female, 7(26%) had microadenomas, and 21(78%) harbored clinically nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas. Upon admission, hyponatremia, random cortisol level of |
