PITUITARY STALK INTERRUPTION SYNDROME: CASE REPORT WITH ISOLATED GROWTH HORMONE DEFICIENCY
Journal Title: European Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome is characterized by a triad of thin or interrupted pituitary stalk, aplasia or hypoplasia of the anterior pituitary and absent or ectopic posterior pituitary seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We are presenting the case history and examination with MRI finding of a child who presented with sever short stature and diagnosed as isolated growth hormone deficiency and treated with growth hormone therapy. Diagnosing such a case may seem challenging however, Pituitary anomalies should be considered in the differential diagnosis of sever short stature in children.
