After 6\u00a0months of pergolide treatment of PPID-affected horses, pituitary gland length increased (P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a0.05), but height and width were not different from pretreatment values. There was no difference between pituitary gland measurements made at the terminal CT scans and necropsy. Furthermore, pituitary gland volume calculated from the measurements was highly correlated to pituitary gland weight. Additional CT findings were bilaterally symmetrical mineralization in the thalamus and cholesterol granulomas adjacent to the lateral and fourth ventricles.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
