  • Title: Intrasellar cysticercosis mimicking a pituitary adenoma.
    Author: Boecher-Schwarz HG, Hey O, Higer HP, Perneczky A.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 1991; 5(4):405-7. PubMed ID: 1786137.
    Abstract:
    A case of a 50-year-old female with an intrasellar and suprasellar cysticercus cyst, which was pre-operatively misinterpreted as a macroadenoma of the adenohypophysis is described. Cranial computed tomography revealed a homogeneous hyperdense intrasellar and suprasellar lesion. In T1-weighted magnetic resonance images, a spotty hyperintense tumor of the sellar region was shown.
