| Abstract |
Giant aneurysm projected into the sellar region is a rare cause of hypopituitarism and is usually associated with atherosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia and pituitary radiation therapy. We report the case of a 78-year-old patient presenting a giant internal carotid artery aneurysm disclosed by clinical features of hypopituitarism and cranial nerves compression (optic and abducent). Computed tomographic scans, magnetic resonance images and cerebral angiography were performed and showed the aneurysm. Cerebral angiography confirmed concomitant atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia. After evaluation of risk/benefit, no surgical treatment was proposed. Replacement endocrine therapy with glucocorticoid and levothyroxine was initiated followed by a satisfactory clinical response. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 August 2012.
All research outputs
#20,656,820
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism
#528
of 800 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#86,908
of 92,032 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism
#6
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 800 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 92,032 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
