A Case Report of Growth Hormone-Secreting Pituitary Adenoma Complicated by Apoplexy With Atypical Clinical Presentation.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pituitary macroadenomas are prevalent benign tumors that can present with insidious symptoms, leading to delayed diagnoses. We report the case of a 29-year-old South Asian male who presented with acute neurological symptoms including severe headache, confusion, and vomiting, initially diagnosed as meningitis with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). Despite initial improvement, the patient developed central diabetes insipidus (CDI) and was found to have physical features consistent with acromegaly. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large sellar/suprasellar lesion, and hormonal profile confirmed elevated insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) with low levels of prolactin, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and testosterone, consistent with pituitary apoplexy. The patient underwent successful transnasal transsphenoidal resection of a hemorrhagic macroadenoma. This case highlights the importance of considering pituitary apoplexy in the differential diagnosis of acute neurological symptoms and its potential for atypical complications such as SIADH followed by CDI. Timely diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial to mitigate risks and improve outcomes.
