Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a rare anatomical defect of the pituitary gland falling under the spectrum of holoprosencephaly phenotypes. It is characterized by a deficiency in anterior pituitary hormones, such as growth hormone, gonadotropins, and thyroid hormones. Due to the syndrome's rarity and nonspecific manifestations, there is a lack of standardized treatment strategies. Consequently, early diagnosis through imaging and on-time intervention are crucial for improving patients' outcomes.
