ABSTRACT


The involvement of the pituitary stem frequently encountered since the development of pituitary imaging is revealed by diabetes insipidus in the majority of cases. The pituitary stem can be the target of various pathologies, infectious, infiltrative, and tumor. In cases where the etiological investigation is negative, genetic abnormalities may be incriminated. Through our case we show the variability of conditions that can reach the pituitary stem as well as the role of imaging in the etiological investigation to arrive at hypotheses requiring confirmation at histology or close monitoring of lesions.

Keywords: Diabetes insipidus, MRI, Pituitary stem hyperthrophy
