Abstract
Persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) is a relatively frequent type of carotid-basilar anastomosis. Most of PTA has no symptoms and are noticed incidentally. We report a case of PTA compressing the right side pituitary gland, in a patient with hormonal disorder. In this report, we emphasize importance of MR imaging and MR angiography on demonstrating the relationship between the pituitary gland and PTA. © 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
