Methods: The clinical data and endocrine hormones level of 25 patients with acute pituitary apoplexy who underwent transsphenoidal surgery from Jan. 2002 to June 2004 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: 13 cases underwent surgery within 3 days after admission and 22 cases within 1 week. Of the 25 cases, 9 patients suffered the impairment of pituitary-thyroidal function, 14 cases of pituitary-adrenal function and 11 cases of pituitary-gonadal function before surgery. After surgery, 5/9, 8/14 and 7/11 were recovered from the corresponding hypopituitarism. Conclusion: Hypopituitarism is a major manifestation of acute pituitary apoplexy. Urgent surgery decompression contributed to the improvement of pituitary function. Patients with hypopituitarism after surgery required the corresponding hormones replacement therapy.展开更多
