Abstract:
The function and related diseases of pituitary in children are very different from those in adults.In the past,understanding of the normal physiology of children's pituitary was neglected.The diagnoses and treatments of these diseases were mostly based on experience from adults,lacking awareness of their specialties.This review focuses on the current research on children's normal pituitary and related diseases from an imaging perspective and explains their differences with adults.
