2021年10月7日 · The pituitary stalk, also known as the infundibulum or infundibular stalk, is largely outside the blood brain barrier like the rest of the pituitary and therefore normally enhances following the administration of gadolinium.

The pituitary stalk, also known as the infundibulum, connects the hypothalamic median eminence with the pituitary gland. Comprising both blood vessels and nerves, it constitutes an important element in the proper functioning of hormonal regulation.

2012年11月23日 · The spectrum of pathology involving the pituitary infundibulum is broad yet distinct from other pathology in the sella and parasellar region. Pituitary stalk lesions can be grouped into three categories: congenital and developmental, inflammatory …

The pituitary stalk, also known as the infundibular stalk, infundibulum, or Fenderson's funnel, is the connection between the hypothalamus and the posterior pituitary, the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

2025年1月20日 · The pituitary gland is connected to the hypothalamus by the infundibulum (pituitary stalk), which is a process that extends inferiorly from the tuber cinereum of the hypothalamus. The infundibulum not only connects the two glands physically, but it also enables the passage of the hypothalamic hormones to the hypophysis as it is traversed by the ...

the pituitary infundibulum is broad yet distinct from other pathology in the sella and parasellar region. In-fundibular pathology is usually considered with more general sellar and parasellar disease. We reviewed 65 infundibular lesions and summarized their imaging features and clinical presentation. Lesions affecting the pituitary in-

The pituitary stalk (also called the infundibulum) is a funnel-shaped structure that passes through the dura mater of the diaphragma sellae and connects the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland. It is divided into the anterior pars tuberalis and posterior pars infundibularis.

Knowing the normal imaging appearance of the pituitary stalk is important for the diagnosis of pituitary infundibular lesions, and more accurate assessment of the stalk may be possible at 3T than at 1.5T. Our purpose was to evaluate the normal pituitary stalk …

The pituitary infundibulum (aka pituitary stalk) is a funnel-like structure that connects the median eminence of the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland.

The pituitary stalk or infundibulum extends from the hypothalamus, posterior to the optic chiasm, through the diaphragm sellae, and to the pituitary gland (see Fig. 1 A). The pituitary stalk is composed of the supraoptic hypophyseal tract, tuberohypophyseal tract, and …
