The sellar archnoidocele is a herniation of the subarachnoid space within the sella turcica which is often associated with a variable degree of flattening of the pituitary. Its clinical presentations range from an asymptomatic radiological finding to endocrine and neuro-ophthalmological manifestations. Its management depends on the initial symptomatology and requires long-term follow-up. We report here the case of a young child followed for a statural delay on a GH deficiency secondary to a sellar arachnoidocele, and who presents a rather unusual evolution.
