Popis: Key Clinical Message Pituitary apoplexy is a medical and surgical emergency requiring prompt diagnosis and often urgent treatment to manage symptoms and prevent further complications. Abstract This report describes the successful management of a 37‐year‐old pregnant woman with a history of pituitary macroadenoma and apoplexy during a twin pregnancy. Presenting with bitemporal vision loss, a common pituitary adenoma symptom, she showed no other alarming signs despite a twin pregnancy. Successful endoscopic resection improved her vision, and postoperative recovery was uneventful. The discussion underscores significance of the diagnostic utility of contrast MRI. The patient's favorable outcome supports endoscopic resection feasibility in pregnant individuals with pituitary apoplexy.
