Subarachnoid hemorrhage in pituitary tumor
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is the bleeding into the subarachnoid space containing cerebrospinal fluid. The most common cause of SAH is trauma. Rupture of aneurysms, vascular anomalies, tumor bleeds and hypertension are other important etiologies. SAH in the setting of pituitary tumor can result f...
