Pituitary apoplexy is bleeding or loss of blood supply within the pituitary gland, often happening in the context of a pre-existing pituitary tumour. It can cause sudden hormonal changes. An MRI may show changes in the pituitary gland consistent with bleeding or tissue damage. Identifying pituitary apoplexy allows for urgent hormonal assessment and treatment that may help prevent serious complications.
