Illustrative case of IC-CDS in a 12-year-old boy with preoperative hypopituitarism. Preoperative coronal (A) and sagittal (B) postcontrast T1-weighted MR images showed a cystic mass intra sellar region with the intact diaphragm sellae. Intraoperative images indicated the tumor was cystic and filled with a yellowish content (C). After removal of the tumor, the compressed pituitary and intact diaphragm sellae were displayed (D). Postoperative MR images showed the mass was totally removed, both pituitary and the stalk were discernable (E,F).
