Micropituitarism and cortical dysplasia: an unknown association of two uncommon CNS disorders

Eur Radiol. 2001;11(6):1070-2. doi: 10.1007/s003300000655.

Abstract

We describe a case of two known pathologies of the CNS in an unusual association: the concomitant presentation of the micropituitarism and cortical dysplasia. To our knowledge, this association is unreported to date.
