Abstract
The results indicate that drug-naïve male patients with OCD exhibit decreased pituitary volume. This finding suggests that dysregulation of the HPA axis in OCD may influence pituitary volume. In addition, the increased pituitary volume in medicated patients may reflect the effect of drugs on the pituitary.
