Postaxial polydactyly-anterior pituitary anomalies-facial dysmorphism syndrome is a rare genetic developmental defect during embryogenesis disorder characterized primarily by congenital hypopituitarism and/or postaxial polydactyly. It can be associated with short stature delayed bone age hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and/or midline facial defects (e.g. hypotelorism mild midface hypoplasia flat nasal bridge and cleft lip and/or palate). Hypoplastic anterior pituitary and ectopic posterior pituitary lobe are frequent findings on MRI examination.
