AbstractThe sellar and parasellar region is complex, with a unique meningeal, neural, vascular, and bony anatomy. Understanding the imaging anatomy is critical for accurate imaging interpretation. resonance (MR) imaging is the primary modality for pituitary imaging, whereas computed tomography may be used when MR imaging is contraindicated, and provides complementary bony anatomic information. This article reviews embryology and anatomy of the sellar and parasellar region. Imaging appearances of pituitary adenomas, Rathke cleft cysts, meningiomas, craniopharyngiomas, arachnoid cysts, vascular disorders, infectious abnormalities, and pituitary apoplexy are discussed and illustrated.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
