Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a distinct and rare clinical entity responsible for congenital hypopituitarism resulting in deficiency of pituitary hormones with deficiency of the growth hormone (100%) and gonadotropins (97.2%) being its most common presentation at the time of hospital encounter (Wang et al., 2015). Isolated sparing of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) with deficiency of the remaining anterior pituitary hormones may be present in PSIS, as is true in our case. Therefore, it should be kept in mind at the time of examination in suspected cases of PSIS.
垂体柄阻断综合征(PSIS)是一种独特且罕见的临床病症,可导致先天性垂体功能减退,引起垂体激素缺乏,其中生长激素缺乏(100%)和促性腺激素缺乏(97.2%)是患者就诊时最常见的表现(Wang等,2015)。PSIS可能存在促甲状腺激素(TSH)单独保留而其余垂体前叶激素缺乏的情况,我们的病例就是如此。因此,在疑似PSIS病例的检查过程中应予以留意。
