Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a congenital anatomical defect that leads to pituitary insufficiency, The symptoms are diverse, often leading to diagnostic delays or even misdiagnosis. MRI plays a crucial role in establishing an accurate diagnosis by revealing a characteristic radiological triad: a thin or absent pituitary stalk, an ectopic or missing posterior pituitary gland, and anterior pituitary hypoplasia. We herein describe 2 cases: 1 involving a 9-year-old boy and the other an 11-year-old girl, both diagnosed with PSIS.
垂体柄阻断综合征(PSIS)是一种导致垂体功能减退的先天性解剖缺陷,其症状多样,常导致诊断延迟甚至误诊。MRI通过显示特征性的放射学三联征:垂体柄纤细或缺失、垂体后叶异位或缺失以及垂体前叶发育不全,在准确诊断中起着关键作用。我们在此描述2例病例:1例为9岁男孩,另1例为11岁女孩,均被诊断为PSIS。
