RESUMO
In this paper we present the case of a female teenager patient who was diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder and during psychotropic treatment with risperidone, the prolactin levels ranged between 55 ng/mL and 85 ng/mL at monthly repeated dosing. During this period, the patient presented somatic alterations in her state of health. The patient benefited from brain imaging, which revealed that in sella turcica is distinguished a well-defined and relatively homogeneous formation, measuring approximately 11/8 mm, suggestive of a pituitary adenoma. After changing the antipsychotic treatment, the pituitary formation resolved to a subsequent imaging re-evaluation.
