Clinical characteristics of patients before GH treatment with normal MRI (idiopathic GHD (IGHD) and NSD) were compared with those of patients with abnormal pituitaries (hypoplasia, empty sella (ES), HME (hypoplastic anterior pituitary, missing pituitary stalk and ectopic posterior pituitary)).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Abnormal MRIs were found in 4032 (26.8%) children, within which ES (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=1178 (7.8%)) and HME (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=1019 (6.8%)) were the most frequent findings.
