Abstract
We present a case of pituitary hypertrophy due to juvenile primary hypothyroidism with subsequent return to normal size after therapy. This clinical entity is well known, but there are few reports on its magnetic resonance (MR) findings. We stress the usefulness of Gadolinium-DTPA-enhanced (Gd-DTPA-enhanced) MRI in the differential diagnosis of pituitary hypertrophy and pituitary adenoma.
