[Dwarfism and delayed puberty in a child with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus].
A 17-year-old boy who had been treated for insulin-dependent diabetes since age 2, and for coeliac disease since age 6, presented a major growth retardation (-6 SD), a delayed puberty and a hepatomegaly with excessive glycogen storage (Mauriac's syndrome). Improved metabolic control resulted in normal pubertal development and growth catch-up.
