[Pituitary abscess. A rare complication of sinusitis].
This report is of a pituitary abscess arising from chronic sinusitis. The MRI suggested a pituitary tumor with suprasellar extension and diagnosis was made operatively. Pituitary abscesses are rare entities. Despite the advent of MRI, diagnosis is often only made operatively.
