Cases of sellar involvement of neurocysticercosis (NCC) are rare. Little is known about the mechanisms by which the parasite can compromise the pituitary gland. Although NCC damages sellar structures with direct compression by large cysts, extension through the basal cisterns and third ventricle with focal arachnoiditis can result as an inflammatory response. Evaluation for hypophyseal lesions in patients with NCC may allow for the diagnosis of unexplained loss of visual acuity and hormonal disturbances.
