✦ Synopsis

Eight volunteer post partum female patients were examined with high resolution computed tomography during the week immediately after delivery. All patients received high dose (40-70 gm) intravenous iodine contrast administration. The scans were examined for pituitary gland height, shape and homogeneity. All of the patients had enlarged glands by the traditional standards (i.e. gland height of 8 mm or greater). The diaphragma sellae in every case bulged upward with a convex domed appearance. The glands were generally inhomogeneous. One gland had a 4 mm focal well defined area of decreased attenuation. Two patients who were studied again months later had glands which had returned to "normal" size. The enlarged, upwardly convex pituitary gland appears to be typical and normal for the recently post partum period.

Normal and pathologic anatomy of the soft tissues of the neck is clearly delineated with high resolution computed tomography (CT). The CT densities of soft tissues, fat, and enhanced blood vessels are strikingly different from each other and, therefore, mass lesions are clearly discernable. Often, a
