A 43-year old woman was referred to the Endocrinology Clinic for pituitary evaluation after the detection of a suprasellar tumor. She had an unremarkable past medical history, but during interrogation she recalled having absence of menses since 2 years. Three months before she started to have a progressive moderate/severe headache that was accompanied by nausea and occasionally, vomiting.
