Pituitary adenomas are frequent intracranial tumors with generally benign prognosis but acute hemorrhage into tumor with necrosis is a severe complication and can potentially result in fatal outcome, if not diagnosed or treated early. While many precipitating factors have been known, even a mild blunt force shown in this case could play a role in the catastrophic complication of the pituitary adenoma. We report a rare forensic case of post-traumatic apoplexy sustained in a preexisting pituitary adenoma with a mild blunt force to the face.
Key words : Mild blunt force; Pituitary adenoma; Post-traumatic apoplexy; Sudden death
