title: [A case of primary abscess of the pituitary gland].
abstract: This report details the management of a patient with a primary pituitary abscess with secondary amenorrhea, mimicking pituitary adenoma. The preoperative diagnosis of intra- and suprasellar pituitary abscess was established by X-ray examination of the skull, CT-scans and anamnesis. After transsphenoidal removal of the abscess with accompanying antibiotic therapy the patient had a progressive and nearly complete recovery with normalization of menstruation.
