Anterior pituitary gland in pregnancy: hyperintensity at MR.

摘要: The authors obtained midline sagittal T1-weighted magnetic resonance images of the pituitary gland in 30 female patients: five pregnant; two postpartum; and 23 nonpregnant, childbearing age, without evidence disorder. In pregnant postpartum patients, relative signal intensity anterior lobe compared with pons was statistically higher than that control group (P < .001). positive correlation noted between ratio gestational age. believe hyperintensity patients is a physiologic variation. Because an infant may also be hyperintense on because lobes woman are histologically similar, mechanism responsible for each case same. It important to know be...
