Abstract
Hypopituitarism is often an evolutionary condition, which if not present at birth with the classic signs of severe hypoglycaemia, prolonged jaundice, bilateral cryptorchidism and / or micropenis and alterations of neurological development, causes a delay in diagnosis with disabling consequences. The paper describes the case of a child of 3 years and 2 months presenting with poor growth and reduction of growth speed. After clinical and laboratory diagnosis, MRI imaging was performed showing the presence of congenital adenohypophyseal hypoplasia that must be followed over time for the possible development of other hormonal deficits.
