Morocco.
- One year period : from January 2018 to October 2018.
- Cerebral MRI :
o 1,5 Tesla equipment.
o High resolution imaging.
o Sagittal sections in spin echo in T1 weighting of 3mm thickness.
o Coronal sections in spin echo in T2 weighting,
focused on the hypothalamo-hypophyseal region of 3mm thickness.
o T2 FLAIR.
o Sections with and without gadolinium injection.
o Thin sections (2 to 3mm).
o Dynamic acquisitions : microadenomas+++.
- Cerebral CT scan (15 cases) : tumoral calcifications.
- Always search for the posterior hypophysis,
which is generally in T1 hypersignal,
in a normal or ectopic position.
