For brachycephalic cats, the mean pituitary gland sagittal height was 2.15 \u00b1 0.15 mm, pituitary gland transverse height was 2.42 \u00b1 0.21 mm, pituitary gland transverse width was 4.44 \u00b1 0.27 mm and pituitary gland sagittal length was 3.14 \u00b1 0.30 mm. In mesocephalic cats, the pituitary gland dimensions were 2.94 \u00b1 0.16 mm, 3.09 \u00b1 0.26 mm, 4.73 \u00b1 0.31 mm and 4.88 \u00b1 0.30 mm for pituitary gland sagittal height, transverse height, transverse width and sagittal length, respectively.
