垂体功能异常的蝶窦影像学诊断意义

Significance of medical imaging findings in sphenoid sinus disease to pituitarism

为探讨蝶窦病变的影像学诊断与垂体功能异常的关系，分析7例垂体功能异常的蝶窦病变的影像学表现；结果示7例垂体功能异常者垂体影像均无异常，3例蝶窦占位，4例蝶窦炎性病变。提示蝶窦病变与垂体功能异常关系密切，而在影像学诊断中常被忽略。放射科医师必须提高对蝶窦病变的警觉。

To explore the relationship between medical imaging finding in sphenoid sinus disease and pituitarism,medical images in sphenoid sinus of 7 patients with pituitarism were analysised. Three cases bad mass,and the other 4 cases had innammatory disease in sphenoid sinus.However, their pituitary images were all normal. Sphenoid sinus disease is significant to pituitarism,but may be overlooked. Radiologists must pay more attention to imaging finding in sphenoid sinus.
