Sumario:A 55-year-old woman who attended for sudden intense headache, left palpebral ptosis associated with decreased visual acuity to predominance of the left eye; in addition, laboratory tests showed hyponatremia plus hypopituitarism. The cerebral magnetic resonance showed a pituitary adenoma with a large necrotic component that was later confirmed in the pathological study. It was concluded in a pituitary apoplexy as a form of presentation of a pituitary adenoma without prior diagnosis, with good evolution of visual symptoms after surgery.
