Article Synopsis
- - Hypopituitarism is a rare condition characterized by the absence of pituitary hormones, often caused by tumors or other masses, and diagnosed using MRI; intrasellar aneurysms are an uncommon cause, accounting for about 0.17% of cases.
- - A case study of a 72-year-old man highlights the connection between gastrointestinal issues and hypopituitarism, where he was found to have an unruptured internal carotid artery aneurysm, leading to panhypopituitarism.
- - After a stent-assisted coil embolization to treat the aneurysm and hormonal therapy, the patient showed no improvement in pituitary function after one year, emphasizing that hypopituitarism can persist
