Large Intracranial Aneurysm after Transsphenoidal Surgery for Pituitary Macroadenoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Uncontrolled cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage after transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) for pituitary adenoma can lead to meningitis. Intracranial mycotic pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication in central nervous system infection. Large single pseudoaneurysm is more uncommon. Most mycotic aneurysms occur due to endocarditis. The present patient had no heart problem and was infected by CSF leakage after transsphenoidal surgery. We present a case of large ruptured mycotic pseudoaneurysm as a complication of cerebral infection after TSS for pituitary macroadenoma.

Pituitary macroadenoma coexistent with a posterior circulation aneurysm leading to subarachnoidal hemorrhage during transsphenoidal surgery.
The coexistence of cerebral aneurysm and pituitary adenoma has been described previously. Most of such cases harbor functional tumors and anterior circulation aneurysms, with very rare cases of posterior circulation aneurysms. In this report, we present a case of subarachnoidal hemorrhage due to rupture of an undetected basilar apex aneurysm during microscopic transsphenoidal surgery for a nonf...

Although apoplexy and cystic formation are common inside the pituitary adenoma and hemorrhage with different times of occurrence as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging sequences can be seen within a pituitary macroadenoma, a classic saccular aneurysm and its association with carotid artery haven’t been yet reported. Case: A 52 years old woman was referred for visual loss and headache accompa...
متن کاملSpontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage from rupture of an anterior communicating artery aneurysm in a patient with pituitary macroadenoma.
The presence of a cerebral aneurysm in patients with pituitary adenoma is a rare event. Diagnostic suspicion may stem from magnetic resonance imaging, which should lead to complementary investigation. As for treatment, even in conditions in which there has been no previous bleeding, the simultaneous approach should be considered, prioritising the aneurysm most of the time. The present report de...
متن کاملVanishing Pituitary Macroadenoma: A Case Report
Pituitary macroadenomas are the most common suprasellar lesions in adults and are typically managed surgically through transsphenoidal resection when symptomatic. Due to their close proximity to the optic chiasm, pituitary macroadenomas often present with signs of bitemporal hemianopsia. Alternatively, these tumors can cause mass effect, thus presenting with signs of elevated intracranial press...
