KISMİ APOPLEKSİ VE NEKROZ İLE BİRLİKTE SEYREDEN BÜYÜME HORMONU ADENOMU

Pituiter apopleksi yaşamı tehdit eden klinik bir sendromdur. Apopleksi ile birlikte olan kanamalı nekroz literatürde son derece nadirdir. Birçok yazar akut pituiter apopleksinin vasküler adenom içine primer kanamadan ziyade genişleyen pituiter adenomun ani iskemisi, nekrozu ve kanamasının sonucu geliştiğini düşünmektedir. Biz bu çalışmada kısmi apopleksi ile gelişen ve kanamaya bağlı nekrozun eşlik ettiği olguyu literatür ışığında tartıştık.Pituiter apopleksi (PA), yaşamı ciddi tehdit eden klinik bir sendromdur. Bunun nedeni, pituiter kitlenin tümüyle ekspansiyonudur. 1898’de Bailey tarafından rapor edilmiştir. Karakteristik olarak baş ağrısı, bulantı, kusma, görme bozuklukları, 3.sinir parezisi, konfüzyon ve komaya kadar değişen bulgularla kendini gösterir. 

THE COMBINATION OF PARTIAL APOPLEXY AND NECROSIS WITH GROWTH HORMONE ADENOMA

Pituitary apoplexia is a life threatening syndrome of the life. Apoplexia associated with hemorrhagic necrosis is a very rare event in the literature. Many authors think that pituitary apoplexia is a result of the sudden ischemia, necrosis, and hemorrhage due to an enlarging pituitary adenoma rather than a primary hemorrhage into the vascular adenoma. We discussed a case of pituitary apoplexia associated with hemorrhagic necrosis under the light of literature in the present studyPituitary apoplexia is a life threatening syndrome of the life.
