Abstract

Patients with invasive prolactinoma present with constellation of symptoms including headache, blurred vision, lethargy, menstrual irregularity and sexual dysfunction. Cabergoline, a potent dopamine agonist, is a known medication prescribed for the treatment of prolactinoma. Here, we report a case of invasive macroprolactinoma with hemorrhage in a 18 years female with dramatic response to cabergoline treatment clinically, biochemically, and radiologically.
