Figure 1. Preoperative and postoperative MRI scans of the patient's pituitary gland
(A) Preoperative MRI scan, coronal view, postcontrast: an 11
9
9 mm enhancing suprasellar mass is present in the area of the infundibulum (arrow), with mild compression of the superior pituitary and the optic chiasm. (B) Postoperative MRI scan, sagittal view, precontrast: a cyst-like cavity is seen in the sella turcica (arrow) after resection of the suprasellar mass. There is no definitive posterior pituitary bright spot, either within the sella or above it at the base of the hypothalamus.
