Alatzoglou Kyriaki S , Kelberman Daniel , Spadoni Emanuella , Gaston-Massuet Carles , Woods Kathrine , Maghnie Mohamad , Bitner-Glindzicz Maria , Dattani Mehul T

Background and aim: The development of the pituitary gland is closely linked to this of the eyes and forebrain, as they all originate from the same embryonic origin, the anterior neural ridge. The constellation of symptoms leading to septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) is well established; other ophthalmic signs may be under-reported. The aim of the study was to define if patients with hypopituitarism present with eye abnormalities, which are distinct from SOD, and if this association...

The constellation of symptoms leading to septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) is well established; other ophthalmic signs may be under-reported.
