A member asked:
My son had a transphenoid pituitary tumor resection in 2021 and just had a fu mri. i need help deciphering the results. it says: interval increase in size of soft tissue component extending along the superior lateral margin of the r cavernous sinus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The cavernous sinus is next to the pituitary gland so the finding could be the residual change post pituitary tumor resection. If your son is asymptomatic and this MRI is just a routine procedure then I am not concerned about it. If he has new symptom(s) then the neurosurgeon will go over the finding with you for plan of care. Good luck.
