Panhypopituitarism without diabetes insipidus: magnetic resonance imaging of pituitary stalk transection.
A 13 year 2 month old girl was referred with panhypopituitarism without diabetes insipidus. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated transection of the pituitary stalk, a hypoplastic pituitary gland, and the presence of an ectopic neurohypophysis located at the proximal stump of the transected stalk.
