Pituitary Abscesses in Four Free-ranging White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus)

ABSTRACT Although intracranial abscesses are a well-recognized cause of morbidity and mortality in free-ranging white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), reports of pituitary abscesses in this species are scarce. Pituitary abscesses were the cause of neurologic disease in four adult white-tailed deer from the southeastern US in 2013–15.
