In 2015, 2,333 teens in the United States ages 16â19 were killed and 221,313 were treated in emergency departments for injuries suffered in motor vehicle crashes in 2014. 1 That means that six teens ages 16â19 died every day from motor vehicle injuries.
Pituitary disorders are caused by pituitary tumors and cysts or dysfunction of the pituitary gland itself. Pituitary tumors and cysts occur sporadically and although occasional genetic abnormalities have been identified in some pituitary tumors, there are few consistent findings.
Most often, pituitary apoplexy occurs in a person who has a pituitary tumor. Symptoms include severe headache, stiff neck, fever, visual field defects, and problems with eye movements. The bleeding causes swelling of the pituitary, which presses on the hypothalamus, resulting in sleepiness or coma.
