case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain revealed an intrasellar pituitary incidentaloma (Figure 1).
case_images: (A) Consistent with the patient's headache and oculomotor palsy, PA was diagnosed on MRI. (B, C) MRI results after 2 months (B) and 5 months (C) of conservative treatment. Repeated MRI tests showed that the PA lesion gradually improved. +C Contrast-enhanced MRI.. Abbreviations: MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; PA, pituitary apoplexy.

case_images: T2-weighted MRI showed a hybrid intensity mass in the saddle area, suggesting apoplexy (Figure 2A). The mass compressed the left cavernous sinus. The patient's MRI scans taken after 2 months (Figure 2B) and 5 months (Figure 2C) of conservative treatment showed gradual improvement in the PA.
