Intrasellar cysticercosis. Case report.

Cysticercosis of the pituitary fossa is a rare finding. A case is described in which intra- and suprasellar cysticercosis produced disturbances in both visual acuity and visual fields. On clinical examination, angiography, and computerized tomography, it simulated an intrasellar tumor with suprasellar extension. The diaphragma sellae was absent.
