[Early onset of hypopituitarism with pituitary stalk transection syndrome].
The authors report a case of severe growth retardation in a 4 year-old boy. A microphallus and ectopic testis located at the inguinal point were present in the neonatal period. A panhypopituitarism was related to a transection of the pituitary stalk. Treatment with thyroid hormone and growth hormone allowed excellent catch up of growth.
