Abstract:
Pituitary abscess is a rare condition of the pituitary gland. We report MR imaging findings in two cases of surgically-confirmed pituitary abscess occurring in women aged 39 and 28. In both a peripheral rim enhancing lesion, similar to abscesses in other areas of brain, was seen in the pituitary fossa.
