A Patient Presenting Partial Diabetes Insipidus Diagnosed as Pituitary Abscess With Paranasal Sinusitis

摘要

Pituitary abscess is a rare clinicopathological entity. Although many cases of pituitary abscess have been reported, the origin, etiology, and nature of this condition remain enigmatic. Furthermore, despite remarkable advances in medical technology, preoperative and histopathological diagnosis remains difficult. In this report, we described a 60-year-old patient with pituitary abscess presenting partial diabetes insipidus with paranasal sinusitis and focused on the necessity of surgical exploration of the surrounding pituitary tissue and histopathological confirmation for the precise diagnosis. Prolonged administration of antibiotics is recommended.
