[Epiphysiolysis of the femur head in hypogonadism of pituitary origin].
A case of a twenty years old male patient with unilateral slipped upper femoral epiphysis has been presented. An accompanying pituitary hypogonadism was revealed on physical examination and laboratory tests. Reports from literature of hormone-related epiphyseolysis have been discussed. The authors believe that the presented case of slipping has its origin in the found hormone deficiency.
