20 year old female with severe preeclampsia status post C-section 4/16/2009. Chronic hypertension. Now complaining of visual changes in left eye. There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage or edema. Gray white differentiation is preserved and no midline shift or herniation is present. The pituitary is prominent (series 2 image 5). This may be a physiologic finding related to the patient's postpartum state. However, given the presence of visual symptoms, the pituitary could be more accurately imaged with MRI if clinically warranted.The ventricles and basal cisterns are normal in size and configuration.The calvaria and skull base are radiographically normal. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are normally pneumatized.The orbits are incompletely visualized.
Prominent pituitary as detailed above. If clinically appropriate, this finding could be further evaluated with pituitary protocol MRI.This finding was discussed with Dr. Rosalyn Porter at 12:00 p.m. April 20, 2009.
