calcified pituitary gland

[las03]

My daughter who is 12 had a mri of the brain for other reasons and they also noted she had a calcification on her pituitary gland. Is this a normal finding at her age? or is it something that should be checked every so often? Thanks

What are some of the complications of calcified pituitary gland

[Emman49]

I just had a CT scan a week ago and found a small calcified in my pituitary gland measuring 3mm transverse diameter.  Do i need to further undergo an MRI???

I am 49 years old Filipino citizen...

Please advise...

Hi,
Calcification on Pituitary gland could mean a tumour on the gland. Please consult a neurologist for opinion on this and correlation with the clinical findings. I would suggest you to check it often because it may cause complications. Please discuss the management plan with the neurologist. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
