title: [MRI of hypophysitis].
abstract: The pattern of adenohypophysitis is that of an enlarged pituitary gland in a normal sized sellar turcica with intense enhancement after gadolinium injection. The pattern of infundibulo-neurohypophysitis is that of a diabetes insipidus, i.e. enlargement of the pituitary stalk without any storage of the antidiuretic hormone.
