CT of the head and abdomen was performed, which revealed an enlargement of the pituitary gland (Figure 4) measuring 6.0 mm (width) x 5.2 mm (height) x 3.3 mm (length) (reported reference interval: 5.20 x 3.10 mm [width x height] in normal cats,   and 3.09 +- 0.26 mm, 4.73 +- 0.31 mm and 4.88 +- 0.30 mm for pituitary gland height, width and length, respectively, for a mesocephalic cat).   Both adrenal glands were subjectively round at their cranial pole, but remained elongated with a normal shape.

They measured 12-18 mm in length for the right (Figure 5) and left (Figure 6) adrenal glands, respectively, and 6.2 mm at the maximum height (reported reference range: length 11.6 +- 2.1 mm and height 6.1 +- 1.3 mm in normal cats).   Bilateral chronic renal changes (slight asymmetry and undulated margin) were also noted that were suggestive of chronic kidney disease.
