To introduce the characteristics of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) for the tumors of the sellar region.
A retrospective analysis of 86 cases with the tumors of the sellar region was carried out.
The pituitary tumor including the pituitary micro-adenoma and pituitary macro-adenoma was a common tumor of the sellar region. The pituitary micro-adenoma usually does not affect visual function; but the pituitary macro-adenoma often damages the optic pathway and reduces the visual function. The rest of the sellar region appears special feature on MRI.
MRI is a useful method in diagnosing the tumors of the sellar region.
介绍鞍区肿瘤的磁共振成像(MRI)特征。
对86例鞍区肿瘤患者进行回顾性分析。
垂体瘤包括垂体微腺瘤和垂体大腺瘤是鞍区常见肿瘤。垂体微腺瘤通常不影响视功能;但垂体大腺瘤常损害视路并降低视功能。鞍区其他病变在MRI上表现出特殊特征。
MRI是诊断鞍区肿瘤的一种有用方法。
