[Massive intraventricular hemorrhage from prolactinoma during bromocriptine therapy: case report].
We are reporting herein a case with massive intraventricular hemorrhage secondary to prolactinoma, which initially extended into the suprasellar cistern but reduced in size after one year of bromocriptine therapy, resulting in intrasellar herniation. This is the 6th reported case of intraventricular hemorrhage from a pituitary adenoma. Neuroradiographic features are described in detail and the pertinent literature is reviewed.
