====== Suprasellar aneurysm ======


Suprasellar [[aneurysm]] producing endocrine disturbance due to [[pituitary gland]] 
((White JC, Ballantine HT. Intrasellar Aneurysms
Simulating Hypophyseal Tumors. J Neurosurg.
1961; 18:34–50))
or [[stalk]] compression.

[[Superior hypophyseal artery aneurysm]]s:

a) paraclinoid variant: usually does not produce visual symptoms

b) suprasellar variant: when giant, may mimic [[pituitary tumor]] on CT.
Suprasellar variant may actually grow to a size large enough to compress the pituitary stalk and cause [[hypopituitarism]] and “classic” chiasmal visual symptoms ([[Bitemporal hemianopsia]]).
