Sudden headache, visual loss, and mental change developed in three patients with unsuspected pituitary tumours. In each case stereotaxic transnasal cannulation of the intrasellar mass demonstrated a liquid haematoma under moderate pressure which could be easily aspirated. Restoration of vision and relief from neurological disturbances was prompt. Radiation therapy was then administered to prevent recurrence.
