Fig. 8B 23-year-old postpartum woman with hypophysitis and atypical
infundibuloneurohypophysitis involving pituitary gland and stalk. (Reprinted

file. Salt Lake City, UT: Amirsys, 2002
[16]) Coronal (A) and
sagittal (B) contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images through sella. Note
masslike enlargement of entire pituitary gland and stalk. Neurohypophyseal
involvement was supported by clinical presentation of diabetes insipidus. With
this degree of involvement, imaging appearance is indistinguishable from
macroadenoma; however, histopathologic evaluation confirmed diagnosis of
hypophysitis.
