Article Synopsis
- Pregnancy adds complexity to managing lipodystrophy disorders, which have been underreported in terms of related comorbidities and risks for women.
- A case study highlights a successful pregnancy in a 28-year-old woman with acquired partial lipodystrophy, showing improved glucose control but also leading to preterm delivery and maternal cardiac issues.
- Research indicates that while many women with various lipodystrophy phenotypes have successful pregnancies, they face high risks, necessitating intensive, multidisciplinary care and further investigation into leptin levels during pregnancy.
Purpose: Pituitary apoplexy (PA) has been increasingly reported in association with both infection from and vaccination for COVID19. Our aim was to analyse the available published cases and compare the clinical characteristics in the two groups (infection vs vaccination).
Methods: We systematically reviewed the published literature for all cases of PA associated with COVID19 infection or vaccination.

Background: Pituitary apoplexy (PA) can arise from haemorrhage or ischaemia of pituitary tissue and is characterized by abrupt onset of headache, visual impairment and hypopituitarism. COVID-19 may be associated with various degrees of vascular complications and, recently, its relationship with PA has been suggested. Cases Presentation Case 1: A 64-year-old male with type 2 diabetes, hypertension and coronary heart disease was admitted to the ER, after several days of asymptomatic COVID-19 infection, with symptoms of PA of a known non-functioning pituitary macroadenoma.
