Brain MRI scan (T1-weighted) 9 months after the acute NE, showing an atrophic adenohypophysis (arrow) with a heterogeneous, low signal intensity, compatible with a sequela of hypophysitis. (A) Coronal plane. The height of the hypophysis is 2 mm. (B) Sagittal plane. The patient developed diabetes insipidus later on, but at this point, the 'bright spot' is still visible in the posterior pituitary.
