[Post-traumatic anterior pituitary insufficiency. Apropos of 2 cases].

1996 
: Post-trauma hypopituitarism is rare. The frequency of pituitary lesions observed at autopsy contrasts with small number of clinical cases. We report two cases in a 38 and a 25-year-old patients who developed hypopituitarism two years after severe craniofacial trauma followed by early onset but transitory poluria-polydypsia. Hormone explorations confirmed pituitary deficiency. Neuroradiological imaging, especially magnetic resonance imaging was normal with no intrasellar arachnoidocele.
