Abstract

Postoperative pituitary apoplexy is an exceptional but life-threatening complication. We report the case of a 62-year-old man who underwent a cystoprostatectomy under general anaesthesia. The immediate postoperative course was complicated by asthenia and an altered state of consciousness. A few days later, a homonymous followed by bitemporal hemianopia developed. A CT-scan and magnetic resonance imaging made the diagnosis o pituitary apoplexy. The treatment was a medical one, with rapid improvement in the patient's condition.
