The most common sellar lesion is the pituitary adenoma, and sellar tumors are approximately 10-15% of all intracranial neoplasms. Manual slice-by-slice segmentation takes quite some time that can be reduced by using the appropriate algorithms. In this contribution, we present a segmentation method for pituitary adenoma. The method is based on an algorithm that we have applied recently to segmen...

Transsphenoidal surgery is the mainstream in the management of sellar and anterior fossa diseases. However, textiloma, as known as cotton left behind during an operation, is rarely reported as a complication of transsphenoidal surgery. In this paper, we present a case of textiloma after transsphenoidal surgery. The patient had been suffering progressive blurred vision and she received transsphe...

Introduction Hypophysitis is a chronic inflammation of the pituitary gland of complex and still incompletely defined pathogenesis. It belongs to the group of non-hormone-secreting sellar masses, sharing with them comparable clinical presentation and radiographic appearance. Objectives Describe the case of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related hypophysitis presenting as a mass in the sphenoid sinus. ...

Pituitary adenoma (PA) concomitant with Rathke cleft cyst (RCC) is extremely rare. The risk of recurrence of both PA and RCC necessitates post-operative follow-up. Here we describe a 22-year-old woman was admitted for headache and hypopsia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a sellar mass. During surgery, a small RCC was incidentally found inside the PA. Both tumors were completely resec...

We report a case of pituitary adenoma with normal hormone levels in 34-year-old female. She presented to OP headache, milky discharge from nipples and secondary amenorrhea transient loss vision. Patient had hyperprolactinemia all other hormones. MRI revealed space occupying lesion sellar suprasellar region. Neurological consultation suggested Rathke’s cyst/ craniopharyngioma/ macroadenoma. Exci...
