Popis:	Purpose: Describe a Case Report. Introduction: Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is a rare endocrine emergency, which can occur due to acute hemorrhage or infarction of pituitary gland, usually in the context of a pituitary macroadenoma. 1 The most frequent ophthalmologic symptoms/sings are impaired visual acuity, visual field defects and diplopia. 2,3 A dense bitemporal hemianopic scotoma can cause a rare nonparetic diplopia, so-called hemifield slide phenomenon. Results and Conclusions: This brief report describes a patient with this phenomenon caused by a PA from a pituitary macroadenoma. 2,3,4
