title: Carpenter's syndrome with empty sella and abnormal LRH and TRH response.
abstract: Two sisters with Carpenter's syndrome and empty sella have been evaluated for pituitary function. The TRH injection brought a normal response of TSH and prolactin. There were no change in FSH and LH, but a paradoxical increase of growth hormone and cortisol. The injection of LRH brought a normal response of FSH and LH, no change in TSH and cortisol values and a paradoxical increase in prolactin and growth hormone.
