Segmental MRI pituitary and hypothalamus volumes post Fontan: An analysis of the Australian and New Zealand Fontan registry
Segmental MRI Pituitary and Hypothalamus volumes post Fontan are increased and are related to the time since Fontan procedure. These findings are consistent with venous congestion of the anterior hypothalamic-pituitary portal venous system and may explain the high frequency of endocrine dysfunction in this patient group.
