Computed tomography of hemorrhage in a pituitary adenoma without apoplexy

Abstract Hemorrhage in a pituitary adenoma is a rare occurrence. Before computed tomography became the primary imaging modality for the sella, hemorrhage in pituitary adenoma was always diagnosed during operations or at autopsy. A patient with subacute hemorrhage in a nonfunctioning chromophobe pituitary adenoma with computed tomography findings is reported. The clinical presentation was unlike a pituitary apoplexy.
