A member asked:
Finding: a 1 mm focus of non-contrast or delayed contast enhancement involving the pituitary gland at the junction of the anterior and posterior lobes
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Follow it: 1 mm sounds very small and non threatening. Recommend repeat study in 3 months and then annually if not enlarging. Doubtful that something that size is causing headaches, visual or endocrine problems.
