MATHUR, Manoj  e  GUPTA, Saryu. Looking beyond the Sella: Suprasellar Infundibular Prolactinoma. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.1, pp.1-3. ISSN 2078-6778.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v20i1.1036.

This is a case report of a 24-year-old female who presented with galactorrhoea and elevated serum prolactin levels of 150 ng/mL. The intrasellar pituitary gland demonstrated normal morphology and characteristic enhancement. The pituitary stalk was thickened and revealed a non-enhancing lesion on dynamic contrast imaging, which was interpreted as a functioning microadenoma. The patient exhibited significant clinical improvement after initiation of therapy with a dopamine agonist, Cabergoline.
