Spontaneous “pneumo-apoplexy” as a presentation of pituitary adenoma

We present a case of pituitary macroadenoma apoplexy resulting in spontaneous CSF leak and a large volume of intra-tumoral gas. A 65-year-old female presented with severe headache, profuse rhinorrhea and acute vision loss and was found to have a large sellar and suprasellar lesion with air and hemorrhage with mild peripheral enhancement.
