What Does My MRI Report Showing Normal Size Pituitary Without Well-defined Nodule Mean?
I have had adrenal insufficiency off and on. First they said I had primary and then not at all with maybe a fatique type of thing going on....and then they said I had secondary and then they said I was producing again so they stopped all steroid use again. They did an MRI on my brain that showed: Normal size pituitary without well-defined nodule. What does that mean?

Hello,
If the result of the MRI showed a nodule in the pituitary gland, it may be a microadenoma that is causing your adrenal insufficiency. Discuss with your Neurosurgeon for these issues. If the nodule is found to be active it should be removed surgically.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
