This leads to a disrupted menstrual cycle, infertility, and decreased libido. Causes
Almost all cases of pituitary apoplexy arise from a pituitary adenoma, a benign tumor of the pituitary gland. In 80%, the patient has been previously unaware of this (although some will retrospectively report associated symptoms). It was previously thought that particular types of pituitary tumors were more prone to apoplexy than others, but this has not been confirmed. In absolute terms, only a very small proportion of pituitary tumors eventually undergoes apoplexy. In an analysis of incidentally found pituitary tumors, apoplexy occurred in 0.2% annually, but the risk was higher in tumors larger than 10 mm ("macroadenomas") and tumors that were growing more rapidly; in a meta-analysis, not all these associations achieved statistical significance.The majority of cases (60–80%) are not precipitated by a particular cause. A quarter has a history of high blood pressure, but this is a common problem in the general population, and it is not clear whether it significantly increase the risk of apoplexy. A number of cases has been reported in association with particular conditions and situations; it is uncertain whether these were in fact causative. Amongst reported associations are surgery (especially coronary artery bypass graft, where there are significant fluctuations in the blood pressure), disturbances in blood coagulation or medication that inhibits coagulation, radiation therapy to the pituitary, traumatic brain injury, pregnancy (during which the pituitary enlarges) and treatment with estrogens. Hormonal stimulation tests of the pituitary have been reported to provoke episodes.
In pediatric medicine, acrocephalosyndactyly is the common presentation of craniosynostosis and syndactyly. When there is also polydactyly the classification is acrocephalopolysyndactyly. Cause
Diagnosis
Classification
It has several different types:

type I – Apert syndrome: 577 
type II – Crouzon syndrome: 577 
type III – Saethre–Chotzen syndrome
type IV – Goodman Syndrome
type V – Pfeiffer syndromeA related term, acrocephalopolysyndactyly, refers to the inclusion of polydactyly to the presentation. It also has multiple types:

type I – Noack syndrome; now classified with Pfeiffer syndrome
type II – Carpenter syndrome
type III – Sakati–Nyhan–Tisdale syndrome
type IV – Goodman syndrome; now classified with Carpenter syndrome
type V – Pfeiffer syndromeIt has been suggested that the distinction between "acrocephalosyndactyly" versus "acrocephalopolysyndactyly" should be abandoned. Treatment
