Suprasellar masses are neoplastic, vascular, congenital, or infectious/inflammatory in origin. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the study of choice for evaluating suprasellar masses, although computed tomography (CT) may provide complementary information. Suprasellar masses present with a variety of neurologic or endocrine dysfunctions depending on their site of origin and mass effect on adjacent structures. Imaging characteristics of the most common suprasellar lesions are described with particular emphasis on MR findings.
鞍上肿物起源于肿瘤、血管、先天性或感染/炎症性病变。磁共振成像（MRI）是评估鞍上肿物的首选检查方法，尽管计算机断层扫描（CT）可能提供补充信息。鞍上肿物根据其起源部位及对相邻结构的占位效应，可表现出多种神经功能或内分泌功能障碍。本文描述了最常见鞍上病变的影像学特征，尤其着重于磁共振成像（MR）表现。
