A 60-year-old black male with a 13-year history of adult onset diabetes mellitus and hypertension with a previous lacunar stroke suddenly developed a periodic head and eye movement disorder characterized by nonalternating skew deviation, rotatory nystagmus, head tilt, and lid retraction. On CT scan, the patient had a lacunar infarct in the right midbrain in the region of the interstitial nucleus of Cajal, an anatomical area involved with head tilt, torsional eye movement, and skew deviation.

A 53-year-old man was hospitalized with general fatigue, headache, dizziness and polyuria. The laboratory findings revealed anterior hypopituitarism and central diabetes insipidus. He also showed eye movement disorder and facial sensory impairment. These symptoms were treated successfully with conservative medical treatment. Concurrently, abnormal pituitary MR imaging findings were revealed. Pituitary abscess was primarily suspected on MR imaging findings, although it was difficult to differentiate pituitary apoplexy by MR imaging findings, alone. In this report, we propose a new diagnostic approach of pituitary abscess, using a combination of CT, MR imaging and clinical manifestations, without either pituitary surgery or pituitary biopsy.
