Sellar and Suprasellar Disorders

  • Chapter
Pediatric Neuroradiology

Abstract

The pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is an ovoid body that is continuous with the infundibulum, a hollow, conical, inferior process originating from the tuber cinereum. It lies within the sella turcica and is covered superiorly by a circular diaphragm of dura mater, pierced centrally by an aperture for the infundibulum [1].
