He described the condition on autopsy in a 46-year-old woman who had had severe puerperal fever eleven years earlier, and subsequently had amenorrhea, weakness, signs of rapid aging, and anemia.

Based on extrapolations from existing data, one would expect 18 cases of pituitary apoplexy per one million people every year; the actual figure is probably lower. [14] The average age at onset is 50; cases have reported in people between 15 and 90 years old. [14] Men are affected more commonly than women, [2] with a male-to-female ratio of 1.6 ...

Cushing's disease (CD) is the most frequent cause of Cushing's syndrome, responsible for approximately 70% of cases. [20] CD results when a pituitary adenoma causes excessive secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) that stimulates the adrenal glands to produce excessive amounts of cortisol .
