Abstract
Mutations of growth hormone genes and pituitary transcription factors account for a small proportion of cases of severe congenital hypopituitarism. Most cases show characteristic MRI findings of pituitary stalk interruption syndrome. Clinical suspicion should prompt assessment of cortisol, free T4, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and growth hormone levels together with MRI of the hypothalamic and pituitary regions.Entities:
