Abstract
A case of hypopituitarism in a female, aged 6 months, whose first symptom consisted of hypoglycemic convulsions is reported. Making use of TRH we confirm the hypothalamic origin of pituitary failure. Substitution therapy controlled the episodes of convulsions and normalized the growth rate of the child.
