Lymphocytic hypophysitis (LH) is a neuroendocrine disorder characterised by autoimmune inflammation of the pituitary gland with resultant pituitary dysfunction. Rarely, the presenting symptom can be diplopia due to irritation of the third, fourth, or sixth cranial nerves secondary to cavernous sinus involvement of the mass or increased intracranial pressure. We describe the case of a healthy, 20-year-old female with a pupillary sparing third nerve palsy, who was subsequently diagnosed with LH after an endoscopic transsphenoidal biopsy of the mass.
