Abstract

Hypopituitarism is a term used to describe the deficiency of one or more of the hormones of the anterior or posterior pituitary gland. It can vary in severity and age at presentation. These hormonal deficits can also be present as part of a syndrome, with patients manifesting extrapituitary abnormalities such as in the eye and forebrain.
