Abstract
We present a case of duplication of the pituitary gland with associate d clefts of the hard palate and body of the sphenoid and a midline pal atine dermoid. This is an extremely rare malformation with only six pr evious case reports in the literature, Imaging findings are discussed and literature reviewed for possible morphogenesis, including its asso ciation with partial twinning and midline cleft face syndrome.
