Pituitary Apoplexy Following Elective Total Hip Replacement

Pituitary apoplexy is an endocrine-related emergency most commonly caused by hemorrhage into a preexisting pituitary adenoma. Known risk factors for such hemorrhage include major surgical procedures, head trauma, pregnancy, anticoagulation, and the administration of hormone therapies for the correct...

description Pituitary apoplexy is an endocrine-related emergency most commonly caused by hemorrhage into a preexisting pituitary adenoma. Known risk factors for such hemorrhage include major surgical procedures, head trauma, pregnancy, anticoagulation, and the administration of hormone therapies for the correction of primary hypothalamic deficiencies. Elective orthopedic surgery is an uncommon precipitator of pituitary apoplexy that is rarely described. We report the case of a patient with a previously unknown pituitary macroadenoma who developed apoplexy as a complication of elective right total hip arthroplasty.
