Overview
Surgical intervention may be considered when there is emergency presentation, such as pituitary apoplexy or subarachnoid hemorrhage causing Sheehan's syndrome to prevent hypopituitarism.
Surgery
Surgical intervention may be considered when there is emergency presentation, such as pituitary apoplexy or subarachnoid hemorrhage causing Sheehan's syndrome to prevent hypopituitarism.
- Neurological decompression is done once the patient is hemodynamically stable. Surgery relieves pressure on the pituitary and improves visual field defects and ocular palsy.[1][2]The nature of surgical approach depends upon the presentation of the patient and can be either transsphenoidal approach (more common) or open craniotomy[3]
