T1-weighted MRI slice showing NR’s macroprolactinoma sized at 26 mm × 20 mm × 19 mm (left–right; cranial–caudal; anterior–posterior). Further inspection revealed that the hypophysis and pituitary stalk were displaced to the right. Sellar tissue proliferation extended to the suprasellar and left parasellar region, without compression of the optic chiasm. The left internal carotid artery was walled by the surrounding soft tissue. On the right-hand side, the tumour extended to the craniomedial part of the carotid artery.
