What (who) is uteroplacental apoplexy - definition

HUMAN DISEASE
Pituitary tumor apoplexy
  •  [[Visual field]] loss in '''[[bitemporal hemianopsia]]''': compression of the [[optic chiasm]] leads to a characteristic pattern of vision loss affecting the outer halves of each eye.
  • Normal pituitary gland on MRI (T1 sagittal without contrast enhancement). The arrow points at the posterior pituitary (intense signal), and the arrowhead at the anterior pituitary.
  •  The adrenal glands, located above the kidneys, are typically the first to be affected in pituitary apoplexy. When the stimulating hormone ACTH is not secreted, the adrenals cease to produce cortisol.

Pituitary apoplexy         
Pituitary apoplexy is bleeding into or impaired blood supply of the pituitary gland. This usually occurs in the presence of a tumor of the pituitary, although in 80% of cases this has not been diagnosed previously.
Placental insufficiency         
PLACENTA DISEASE THAT IS CHARACTERIZED BY INSUFFICIENT BLOOD FLOW TO THE PLACENTA DURING PREGNANCY
Uteroplacental insufficiency; Utero-placental insufficiency
Placental insufficiency or utero-placental insufficiency is the failure of the placenta to deliver sufficient nutrients to the fetus during pregnancy, and is often a result of insufficient blood flow to the placenta. The term is also sometimes used to designate late decelerations of fetal heart rate as measured by cardiotocography or an NST, even if there is no other evidence of reduced blood flow to the placenta, normal uterine blood flow rate being 600mL/min.
Apoplexy         
BLEEDING WITHIN INTERNAL ORGAN
Apoplectic; Apoplexia; Apoplexies; Apoplixia; Apoplectic fit; Cerebral apoplexy; Apoplectic seizure; Apopleptic
Apoplexy () is rupture of an internal organ and the accompanying symptoms. The term formerly referred to what is now called a stroke.

Pituitary apoplexy

Pituitary apoplexy is bleeding into or impaired blood supply of the pituitary gland. This usually occurs in the presence of a tumor of the pituitary, although in 80% of cases this has not been diagnosed previously. The most common initial symptom is a sudden headache, often associated with a rapidly worsening visual field defect or double vision caused by compression of nerves surrounding the gland. This is often followed by acute symptoms caused by lack of secretion of essential hormones, predominantly adrenal insufficiency.

The diagnosis is achieved with magnetic resonance imaging and blood tests. Treatment is by the timely correction of hormone deficiencies. In many cases, surgical decompression is required. Many people who have had a pituitary apoplexy develop pituitary hormone deficiencies and require long-term hormone supplementation. The first case of the disease was recorded in 1898.
