All patients had an MRI of the head with contrast and a full clinical workup. Twelve patients had headache, of whom one had progressive visual impairment. One patient had severe weakness, attributed later to hypoadrenalism and one had sixth nerve palsy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Six patients had glucocorticoids as their primary treatment, four refused treatment, and one was on glucocorticoid replacement. One patient had decompressive surgery because of progressive visual loss, and two had surgery because of a presumptive diagnosis of pituitary adenoma.
