Abstract

Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is an acute clinical syndrome characterized by sudden-onset headache, vomiting, visual disturbances, altered sensorium, and ophthalmoplegia, secondary to hemorrhage or infarction within a pituitary tumor or non-tumorous pituitary gland. A 45-year-old Female presented with generalised weakness, Seizures, fever and headache. Thrombocytopenia due to various causes may be a predisposing factor for pituitary apoplexy in a patient with underlying pituitary disease. We describe dengue as a probable novel condition for pituitary apoplexy because it may be associated with multiple risk factors for pituitary infarction or bleeding

Keywords: Pitutary apoplexy, Dengue hemorrhagic fever, Thrombocytopenia
