Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome is a congenital disease with isolated growth hormone deficiency or multiple anterior pituitary hormone deficiencies. Here, the authors report a 22-year-old female presenting with growth retardation for 13 years. Growth hormone replacement therapy was performed when the patient was young, so her height improved. Besides, she had no secondary sexual characteristics development.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007018	Hypopituitarism	Diminution or cessation of secretion of one or more hormones from the anterior pituitary gland (including LH; FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE; SOMATOTROPIN; and CORTICOTROPIN). This may result from surgical or radiation ablation, non-secretory PITUITARY NEOPLASMS, metastatic tumors, infarction, PITUITARY APOPLEXY, infiltrative or granulomatous processes, and other conditions.

D008279	Magnetic Resonance Imaging	Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.
