Intracranial arterial vasospasm associated with pituitary apoplexy after head trauma--case report

Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo). 1990 May;30(5):350-3. doi: 10.2176/nmc.30.350.

Abstract

A case of intracranial arterial vasospasm caused by pituitary apoplexy after head trauma is reported. In this case, pituitary apoplexy was secondary to head trauma, and the vasospasm was thought to be due to subarachnoid hemorrhage from a pituitary tumor. No such case has previously been reported in the literature.
