case_images: The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of coronal (left) and sagittal (right) sections showing a pituitary macroadenoma. Specifically, the maximum cross-sectional area was 42 mm x 37 mm, which had compressed the optical chiasm, invaded the skull base bone, and surrounded blood vessels in sellar area.
