“…Usually, internal carotid artery stroke results in ipsilateral visual failure and contralateral hemiplegia. [ 4 15 ] In the present study, in Case no 2, there was compression of supraclinoid part of the left internal carotid artery which resulted in the weakness and signs of right hemiplegia. Ophthalmic manifestations were due to pituitary macroadenoma lateral expansion which compressed the 3 rd , 4 th , and 6 th cranial nerves causing ophthalmoplegia.…”

“…The probable two most important mechanisms of cerebral ischemic in patients with pituitary apoplexy are mechanical obstruction of the circle of Willis by the enlarging mass and cerebral arterial vasospasm. [ 1 4 16 ] The internal carotid artery was occluded in the cavernous sinus or the supraclinoid portion by the enlarged tumor in most of the cases. [ 17 ] The pathophysiology of the vasospasm could be the release of vasoactive substances from the necrotic tumor itself.…”

“…Although there have been several reports, acute ischemic stroke associated with pituitary apoplexy is very rare. [2][3][4] Here, we report the case of successful treatment of acute ischemic stroke associated with direct compression by large pituitary mass and discuss what treatment should be given priority.…”

“…Zawał mózgu wtórny do udaru przysadki wiąże się ze śmiertelnością na poziomie 24%. [12,13]. Najczęstszym i zarazem najbardziej niebezpiecznym zaburzeniem endokrynologicznym występującym w przebiegu PA jest deficyt ACTH, będący przyczyną wtórnej niedoczynności kory nadnerczy, objawiającej się niedociśnieniem (przy braku kortyzolu, naczynia stają się niewrażliwe na katecholaminy) oraz hiponatremią i hipoglikemią [1,14].…”
