title: [Epiphysiolysis of the upper extremities of the femur in idiopathic panhypopituitarism. Apropos of a case with review of the literature].
abstract: A case of a 39 year old male patient with slipped capital femoral epiphysis and idiopathic panhypopituitarism is reported. A review of the literature shows that a slipped epiphysis with hypothalamo-hypophyseal dysfunction, may be observed either in a proportional pituitary dwarfism or in a skeletal disproportion of the eunuchoidal or even of the acromegalic type. This association leads to examine the causal role of the hormonal status.
