    TLDR The patient with a misplaced pituitary gland and interrupted pituitary stalk is being treated with hormone replacement.
    The document described a case of a 34-year-old woman with pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS), a congenital disorder of the pituitary gland. The patient presented with primary amenorrhea, short stature, and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. MRI findings indicated ectopic neurohypophysis, and a DXA scan showed reduced bone mineral density. She was treated with hormonal replacement therapy and required long-term follow-up due to the potential progression to pan-hypopituitarism. The study highlighted the heterogeneous nature of PSIS and the importance of ongoing monitoring.
