The pituitary gland width was measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technique, in 69 individuals, the data was evaluated according to sex and age groups. In all cases the mean value of the female pituitary gland width (11.77) mm, which was higher than male (9.60) mm. A gradual increase in the pituitary gland width was noted in the age group (20-29) yrs old, while a decrease in the pituitary width was noted after age (50-59) yrs.Nevertheless, there was a conspicuous increase in the pituitary gland width in the 61yrs in females, and 67 yrs in male, this study reflect the role of puberty and lactation and their relation to the pituitary width. This study opened new doors for more researches in this field to use other specific sciences like histology and physiology of the pituitary cells in details to determine which lobe or cell has got changes exactly.
