説明

A 48-year-old woman was admitted to our institution complaining of headache and a 2-month history of blurred vision and increased urinary volume. T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with gadolinium showed a ring-enhanced mass lesion in the pituitary. Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MR imaging showed high-intensity lesions in the optic nerves, hypothalamus, and thalamus. The histological diagnosis was pituitary abscess. The blurred vision was caused by inflammation, but not compression, of the optic nerves due to the pituitary abscess outside the hypophysis.<br>
