ABSTRACT
We are introducing a patient of 22 years old who suffers from Dwarfness and primary Amenorrhea. She showed dosages of basal somatotrophin and post estimulation of 0.5 ng/ml or less, somatomedin (IGF1): 2.40 ui/ml, rudiment uterus and annexes with normal karyotype 46xx. RMN of Sella Turcica and adjacencies showed; a posterior pituitary lobe ectopy, with the conservation of his hypothalamic conexion and hormonal deficit of L.A. (suprarenal, gonadal and somatotrophic axes). The use of RMN allowed us to evaluate and thus reached a precise diagnosis in reference to the hypothalamic lesion.
