title: Hypopituitarism--a late consequence of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage?
abstract: Over the last decade subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) has increasingly been recognised as a cause of hypopituitarism. We report on the case of a patient with evidence of growth hormone deficiency manifesting after a period of time, with a favourable response to growth hormone replacement. This is followed by a review of the current literature.
