Abstract
- Tension pneumosella has been recognized as a very rare complication of pituitary transsphenoidal surgery. To the best of our knowledge, we report the second case of a pituitary adenoma "pneumo-apoplexy", which is characterized by findings consistent with tension pneumosella in the context of apoplexy of a pituitary adenoma; although it is an extremely rare diagnosis, it should be considered in patients with compatible clinical and radiological findings, particularly with a previous history of transsphenoidal pituitary surgery.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
