Pituitary infarction?
DefinitionPituitary infarction is the death of an area of tissue in the pituitary gland, a small gland joined to the hypothalamus (part of the brain). The pituitary produces many of the hormones that control essential body processes.Alternative NamesPituitary apoplexyCauses, incidence, and risk factorsPituitary infarction is most commonly caused by bleeding due to a noncancerous tumor of the pituitary. When this bleeding occurs in a woman during or immediately after childbirth, it is called Sheehan syndrome.Risk factors for pituitary infarction include:Bleeding disordersDiabetesHead injuryRadiation to the pituitary glandUse of a breathing machineHowever, in most cases, the cause is not clear.SymptomsPituitary infarction usually has a short period of symptoms (acute), but it can be life-threatening.Symptoms usually include:Severe headacheParalysis of the eye muscles, causing double vision (ophthalmoplegia)Low blood pressure, nausea, and vomiting from acute adrenal insufficiencyLess commonly, pituitary dysfunction may appear more slowly. In Sheehan syndrome, for example, the first symptom may be a failure to produce milk caused by a lack of the hormone prolactin.Over time, problems with other pituitary hormones may develop, causing symptoms of the following conditions:Growth hormone deficiencyFatigueIncreased fat in the abdomenLack of energyHypoadrenalism(if not already present or treated) Inability to deal with physical stressNauseaHypogonadismAbsent periods (amenorrhea) in womenSexual dysfunction and loss of muscle mass in menHypothyroidismCold intoleranceConstipationDepressed moodDry skinFatigueHair or skin changesHoarsenessMenstrual changesMental slowingWeight gainWhen the posterior pituitary is involved (rare), symptoms may include:Failure of the uterus to contract as needed to give birth to a baby (in women)Failure to produce breast milk (in women)Uncontrolled urinationSigns and testsSigns of acute pituitary infarction may include:Low blood pressureVisual field defectsSigns of chronic pituitary insufficiency include:Growth hormone deficiency Loss of muscle massProblems with fat metabolism (dyslipidemia)Hypoadrenalism Low blood pressurePoor response to stress and infectionHypothyroidism Delayed reflexesTests may include:Bone density testEye examsMRI or CT scanBlood tests will be done to check levels of:ACTHCholesterolCortisolFSHGrowth hormoneLHProlactinSomatomedin C (IGF-1)TreatmentTreatment for acute infarction may require surgery to relieve pressure on the pituitary and improve vision symptoms. Severe cases need emergency surgery.Immediate treatment with adrenal replacement hormones (glucocorticoids) is essential. Other hormones will be replaced, including:Sex hormones (estrogen/testosterone)Thyroid hormoneEvidence is also growing for the need to replace growth hormone.Expectations (prognosis)Acute pituitary infarction can be life-threatening. The outlook is good for people who have chronic deficiency that is diagnosed and treated.ComplicationsComplications of untreated pituitary infarction can include:Adrenal crisisVision lossIf other missing hormones are not replaced, you may develop problems related to hypothyroidism and hypogonadism.Calling your health care providerCall your health care provider if you have any symptoms of chronic pituitary insufficiency.Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have symptoms of acute pituitary infarction, including:Eye weaknessHeadacheLow blood pressure (which can cause fainting)NauseaVomitingBe especially concerned if you develop these symptoms and you have already been diagnosed with a pituitary tumor.ReferencesMelmed S, Kleinberg D.
