title: Intrasellar fat graft gains weight with the patient: imaging features.
abstract: We describe a 56-year-old man with an intrasellar craniopharyngioma who underwent transphenoidal resection and abdominal fat grafting of the dural opening. Follow-up MRI showed hypertrophy of the sellar fat graft concurrent with the patient's weight gain. To our best of knowledge sellar fat graft hypertrophy has not been reported before.
