Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain revealed an intrasellar pituitary incidentaloma (Figure 1).
(A) Consistent with the patient's headache and oculomotor palsy, PA was diagnosed on MRI. (B, C) MRI results after 2 months (B) and 5 months (C) of conservative treatment. Repeated MRI tests showed that the PA lesion gradually improved. +C Contrast-enhanced MRI.. Abbreviations: MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; PA, pituitary apoplexy.

T2-weighted MRI showed a hybrid intensity mass in the saddle area, suggesting apoplexy (Figure 2A). The mass compressed the left cavernous sinus. The patient's MRI scans taken after 2 months (Figure 2B) and 5 months (Figure 2C) of conservative treatment showed gradual improvement in the PA.
