Although the pathophysiology is not well understood, it often presents with headaches, visual disturbances, and symptoms of hypopituitarism. However, not all cases may present with hypopituitarism which can make this rare disease with an incidence of ~\u20091 in 9\u00a0million much more difficult to diagnose.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case Presentation<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We present a 35-year-old G4P4 woman with progressive vision loss and intermittent frontal headaches during her first trimester through 2 months postpartum. She presented with no symptoms of hypopituitarism and her hormone panel only showed elevated prolactin, possibly due to her breastfeeding. She was treated with a right pterional craniotomy with decompression of both optic nerves, partial resection of the suprasellar mass, and glucocorticoid therapy for headaches and visual disturbances.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This case is notable for a presentation of lymphocytic hypophysitis without symptoms of hypopituitarism. This is important for outpatient providers to be aware of, especially those that care for pregnant patients so that unfavorable outcomes can be avoided.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12902-024-01546-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,8]],"date-time":"2024-02-08T03:02:38Z","timestamp":1707361358000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Unique case of lymphocytic hypophysitis with normal pituitary hormone serology mimicking a non-functioning pituitary adenoma"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Kyle","family":"Shen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Cadang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Phillips","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Varsha","family":"Babu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"1546_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"R151","DOI":"10.1530\/EJE-17-0009","volume":"179","author":"MN Joshi","year":"2018","unstructured":"Joshi MN, Whitelaw BC, Carroll PV.
