Infundibuloneurohypophysitis presenting a large sellar-juxtasellar mass: case report.
BACKGROUND Infundibuloneurohypophysitis (INH) is reported to be a self-limiting inflammatory disease involving neurohypophysis. The authors experienced a case of INH presenting a large mass compressing the brain stem. CASE PRESENTATION The patient exhibited polyuria followed by left hemiparesis and dysarthria lasting a year.

متن کاملRare sellar lesions.
Sellar masses are associated most commonly with pituitary adenomas. Many other neoplastic, inflammatory, infectious, and vascular lesions, however, may affect the sellar region and mimic pituitary tumors. These lesions must be considered in a differential diagnosis. This article describes the characteristics of rare sellar masses that provide clues to their differential diagnosis.
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging of sellar and juxtasellar abnormalities in the paediatric population: an imaging review
The sellar and juxtasellar regions in the paediatric population are complex both anatomically and pathologically, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) being the "gold standard" imaging modality due to the high contrast of detail. Assessment requires a detailed understanding of the anatomy, embryology, pathophysiology and normal signal characteristics of the pituitary gland and surrounding stru...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging of sellar and juxtasellar abnormalities: atypical findings of common diseases and typical findings of rare diseases
The sellar/juxtasellar region comprises the bone component of the sella turcica, pituitary gland, cavernous sinus, and suprasellar cistern. Abnormalities in this region can be attributed to underproduction or overproduction of hormones or to the neurological signs and symptoms resulting from the compression of adjacent structures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently the imaging method...
