A member asked:
Hypoenhancing region within the posterior right pituitary measure 0.3 x 0.3 x 0.3 cm what is this? most pituitary tumors are anterior?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I agree that posterior pituitary tumors or adenomas are rare. Your ordering physician should review the images with the interpreting radiologist to get a complete analysis and a differential diagnosis to determine what other possibilities could be present and whether consulting a neurosurgeon for an opinion is advisable.
