ABSTRACT
Pituitary duplication is a rare malformation commonly associated with other major neural/craniofacial anomalies, easily shown by magnetic resonance imaging. The authors describe two girls with duplication of the pituitary gland and thickening of the hypothalamus, facial dysmorphism and precocious pubertal development. The pathogenesis of pituitary duplication and its relationship with precocious pubertal development are discussed.
