Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted coronal image of the brain, on initial presentation. The
arrow shows an asymmetric enlargement of the pituitary gland with a larger more globular
component on the right.

The total gland measured 1.2 cm AP by 1.8 cm transverse by 0.8 cm craniocaudal, and there was thickening of the pituitary stalk, findings seen with hypophysitis (Figures 1 and 2).
Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted sagittal image of the brain, on initial presentation. The
arrow shows a homogeneous enlargement of the pituitary with thickening of the stalk.

Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted coronal image of the brain, 1 month after initial
presentation. The arrow shows a diminished enlargement of the gland with a mostly empty
sella.

After 1 month, follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pituitary revealed markedly diminished enlargement of the gland with a mostly empty sella (Figures 3 and 4).
