==Hemorrhage== To specify the site of bleeding, the term "apoplexy" is often accompanied by a descriptive [[adjective]]. For instance, bleeding within the [[pituitary gland]] is termed "pituitary apoplexy", and bleeding within the [[adrenal glands]] is referred to as "adrenal apoplexy".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Bashari |first1=W.A. |last2=Myint |first2=Y.M.M. |last3=Win |first3=M.L. |last4=Oyibo |first4=S.O. |date=13 June 2020 |title=Adrenal insufficiency secondary to bilateral adrenal hemorrhage: A case report |journal=Cureus |volume=12 |issue=6 |page=e8596 |doi=10.7759/cureus.8596 |doi-access=free |pmid=32550089 |pmc=7294864}}</ref> Apoplexy also includes [[hemorrhaging]] within the gland and accompanying [[neurological]] problems, such as confusion, headache, and impairment of consciousness.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Mohr |first1=G. |last2=Hardy |first2=J. |year=1982 |title=Hemorrhage, necrosis, and apoplexy in pituitary adenomas |journal=Surg Neurol |volume=18 |issue=3 |pages=181β189 |doi=10.1016/0090-3019(82)90388-3 |pmid=7179072 }}</ref>
