The sagittal reformatted CT image [Figure 2a] showed homogenously enhancing pituitary lesion causing expansion of the sella, and axial contrast CT image [Figure 2b] showed mildly enhancing rounded lesion in the sella abutting the tuberculum and dorsum sella anteriorly and posteriorly.
Fat-suppressed sagittal NMR image (a) showing pituitary lesion with expanded sella pushing the optic chiasma superiorly and high-resolution, T1-weighted, contrast-enhanced, fat-suppressed axial image (b) showing enhancing sellar lesion

High-resolution, T1-weighted, contrast-enhanced, fat-suppressed sagittal image [Figure 3a] showed the pituitary lesion, with expanded sella pushing the optic chiasma superiorly, and high-resolution, T1-weighted, contrast-enhanced, fat-suppressed axial image [Figure 3b] showed homogenously enhancing sellar lesion abutting the cavernous segment of bilateral internal carotid arteries.
