This book describes the challenges occurring during a pituitary examination and provides key pieces for diagnosis. It takes into account unusual issues encountered when reading a pituitary MRI.
Each chapter covers the common traps faced during the interpretation of pituitary MRI, for instance, in the presence of pituitary adenomas, Rathke cleft cysts, craniopharyngiomas, and many other pathological conditions, before offering solutions to come to the correct diagnosis.
This concise practical guide offers helpful information for radiologists and neurosurgeons, but the book will also interest endocrinologists and internists.
