Multiple Pituitary Hormone Deficiency, Empty Sella and Ectopic Neurohypophysis in Turner Syndrome.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Multiple pituitary hormone deficiency and Turner syndrome have overlapping features in peripubertal girls and is a diagnostic challenge. CASE CHARACTERISTICS:16-year-old girl having Turner phenotype undergoing evaluation for severe short stature and pubertal arrest. OBSERVATION:45,X karyotype, and multiple pituitary hormone deficiency with empty sella. INTERVENTION:Levothyroxine, growth hormone and ethinyl-estradiol replacement resulted in 11 cm height gain with attainment of puberty over 2 years.
