- ((“apoplexy”[Title]) AND (review[Filter]) AND (english[Filter])): 116 articles found
- Pituitary Development and the Portal System
- Pars anterior or distalis: this is the largest part and is responsible for hormone secretion.
- Pars tuberalis or infundibulum: this is an upwards extension of the pars anterior and wraps the pituitary stalk [15].
- Pars intermedia: this is a thin epithelial layer that separates the pars anterior from the posterior lobe [15].
- Pars nervosa—the portion of the posterior pituitary
- Median eminence—the upper section of the neurohypophysis above the pars tuberalis
- Infundibular stalk—connects the pars nervosa to the base of the brain
- Predisposing and Precipitant Factors for Pituitary Apoplexy
- Clinical Presentation and Treatment of Pituitary Apoplexy
- Pathophysiology of Pituitary Apoplexy
- Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Pituitary Apoplexy
