    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan demonstrating a pituitary macroadenoma with hemorrhage and infarction. The high resolution images show an expanded sella with a 1.5 × 2.5 × 2.7 cm intrasellar and suprasellar mass. (a) Non-contrast sagittal image demonstrates a rim of high signal (arrow) consistent with hemorrhage. (b) Post-contrast sagittal image demonstrates low central signal intensity (arrow) suggestive of a necrotic center.
