Pituitary apoplexy

Head & Neck

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.

SCReening explained
It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
