| Abstract |
A 42-year-old woman developed headache and epistaxis followed by fever, stiff neck, and loss of vision of the right eye. The diagnosis of simple epistaxis was changed to mucormycosis, then to bacterial meningitis and then to sphenoid sinusitis, before the correct diagnosis of pituitary apoplexy was established by CT scan. Epistaxis is yet another confusing symptom of pituitary apoplexy. |
