heal.abstractThis study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic, therapeutic, and pathogenetic data provided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in nonneoplastic hypothalamo-pituitary disorders. After determination of age-specific pituitary heights, 46 children with idiopathic growth hormone deficiency (GH peak < 8 ng/ml) were studied. Twenty-nine patients (group I) had pituitary stalk interruption syndrome and 17 (group II) had no anatomic abnormalities. Age-specific pituitary height was decreased by more than 2 SDs in all group I patients versus only 60% (10/17) of group II patients. The GH deficiency was transient in 4 of the 7 children with normal pituitary findings. Forty-seven girls with breast development before eight years of age were also studied: age-specific pituitary height was normal in all girls with premature thelarche and 68% of girls with mild form of central precocious puberty (CPP). Conversely, in 70% of girls with evolutive CPP, age-specific pituitary height was increased by more than 2 SDs. These data show that MRI is useful for the diagnosis of pituitary insufficiency and that multiple anterior pituitary deficiencies can be expected in patients with anatomic abnormalities. MRI is of diagnostic and prognostic usefulness in CPP and, therefore, is of assistance in making therapeutic decisions.en
