Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a sellar and suprasellar mass measuring 2\u00d72\u00d72\u2009cm. The lesion was removed using a transsphenoidal approach. The abscess was drained, and gram stain revealed polymorphonuclear cells and gram-positive cocci. The postoperative course was uneventful. Ceftriaxone and metronidazole were continued for 6 wks. The patient also received hydrocortisone and continued thyroid hormone replacement. During a 6-mo follow up, the patient's headaches disappeared, and the bitemporal hemianopsia and impaired visual acuity abated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Predisposing factors for pituitary abscesses in primary lesions include immunosuppression and pituitary irradiation, surgery, or infarction. Approximately one-third of pituitary abscesses arise within other lesions. The clinical manifestations are non-specific. Magnetic resonance imaging shows a cystic lesion with central low intensity and rim enhancement after administration of contrast. When a pituitary abscess is diagnosed, surgical procedures should be performed promptly via a transsphenoidal (preferably) or transcranial approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/sur.2013.069","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,1]],"date-time":"2014-05-01T10:17:36Z","timestamp":1398939456000},"page":"358-360","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Infection of a Rathke Cleft Cyst: A Rare Cause of Pituitary Abscess"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Okacha","family":"Naama","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mohammed V-Souissi University","place":["Morocco"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miloudi","family":"Gazzaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mohammed V-Souissi University","place":["Morocco"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Omar","family":"Boulahroud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mohammed V-Souissi University","place":["Morocco"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brahim","family":"Elmoustarchid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mohammed V-Souissi University","place":["Morocco"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2176\/nmc.51.455"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1227\/01.NEU.0000377017.53294.B5"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00701-010-0687-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jocn.2005.12.033"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.2004.100.1.0033"}],"container-title":["Surgical Infections"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1089\/sur.2013.069","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1089\/sur.2013.069","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1089\/sur.2013.069","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,2]],"date-time":"2026-05-02T02:18:38Z","timestamp":1777688318000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1089\/sur.2013.069"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,1]]},"references-count":5,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1089\/sur.2013.069"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1089\/sur.2013.069","relation":{},"ISSN":["1096-2964","1557-8674"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1096-2964","type":"print"},{"value":"1557-8674","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,1]]}}}
