Endocrinologist 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Usually the deviation of the stalk is caused by large pituitary adenomas that should have been described in MRI. If a pituitary adenoma is confirmed, than the hormonal balance should be done to confirm/rule out a secretory adenoma. So, please attach the report of the MRI for a more specific answer.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
