Venous Subarachnoid Hemorrhage after Inferior Petrosal Sinus Sampling for Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
a From the Departments of Radiology (F.S.B., J.H.), Neurosurgery (F.B.M.), and Endocrinology (P.C.C.), Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
Summary: Neurologic complications associated with inferior petrosal sinus sampling for adrenocorticotropic hormone in the diagnosis of Cushing syndrome are rare. Previously reported complications include brain stem infarction and pontine hemorrhage. We report a case of venous subarachnoid hemorrhage with subsequent acute obstructive hydrocephalus occurring during inferior petrosal sinus sampling for Cushing syndrome.
