title: Pituitary apoplexy presenting as aseptic meningitis without visual loss or ophthalmoplegia.
abstract: Clinical and spinal fluid evidence of aseptic meningitis were the sole features at presentation in a patient with pituitary apoplexy. Visual impairment and bitemporal field defects developed later. Necrosis within a chromophobe adenoma was found at surgical decompression of the sella.
