The mean height, depth, width, and volume of the pituitary gland were 5.83±0.77 mm, 9.74±1.22 mm, and 12.98±1.50 mm and 383.59±78.72 mm^3, respectively. According to gender, there was a statistically significant difference in height, U=954.00, p=0.042, and volume, t(98)=2.05, p=0.042. whereas there were no statistically significant differences in depth, U=1257.50, p=0.956, and width, t(98)=1.93, p=0.056 as shown in Table 1.

According to age group, there were no statistically significant differences in depth, H(6)=2.181, p=0.902 and volume, F(6,93)=2.008, p=0.072. However, there was a statistically significant difference in height at H(6)=23.61, p=0.001 and in width at F(6,93)=2.558, p=0.024 as shown in Table 2. Pairwise comparison post hoc correction showed that below 20 and 70 above years of age, 20-30 and 70 above years of age, and 20-30 and 40-50 years of age groups had different heights of the pituitary at p<0.05. Again, in the case of the width of the pituitary gland, the pairwise comparison post hoc correction method yielded below 20 and 60-70 age groups were different at p<0.05.
