Hypothalamic Obesity: Prologue and Promise.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Obesity, age and hormone imbalances including hypothyroidism and growth hormone deficiency and therapy, but not gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) therapy, have been identified as risk factors for slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). Five of 7 reported cases describe SCFE in children shortly...
