Abstract Objectives Pituitary apoplexy is a rare complication of Cushing’s disease (CD), especially in the paediatric age and even more rarely it can occur following anterior pituitary stimulation tests. Case presentation We report a case of a 14-year-old girl who was admitted to our Hospital for evaluation of a possible Cushing’s syndrome (CS). Her symptoms and initial laboratory tests were suggestive of CD. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a microadenoma of the pituitary gland. As part of her evaluation she was submitted to a corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) stimulation test. Two and a half months later the patient was re-evaluated and presented with both clinical improvement of CS, biochemical resolution of hypercortisolism and tumour size reduction in the MRI, also evidencing a haemorrhagic component favouring the diagnosis of pituitary apoplexy after CRH stimulation test. The patient denied any episodes of severe headache, nausea, vomiting or visual changes. Conclusions To our knowledge, the authors report the first case of a pituitary apoplexy after a CRH stimulation test in the paediatric age.
