Abstract

Pituitary abscess is a rarely seen entity that can lead to serious neuroendocrine disorders or even be fatal if not diagnosed or treated correctly. Preoperative diagnosis plays an important role in planning the operation and treatment strategies. This report describes the diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in addition to conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of primary pituitary abscess formation caused by Klebsiella ozaenea in a 33-year-old man.
