  • Title: [Epiphysiolysis of the upper extremities of the femur in idiopathic panhypopituitarism. Apropos of a case with review of the literature].
    Author: Vanek J, Vielpeau C.
    Journal: Rev Rhum Mal Osteoartic; 1991 Dec; 58(12):895-8. PubMed ID: 1780674.
    Abstract:
    A case of a 39 year old male patient with slipped capital femoral epiphysis and idiopathic panhypopituitarism is reported. A review of the literature shows that a slipped epiphysis with hypothalamo-hypophyseal dysfunction, may be observed either in a proportional pituitary dwarfism or in a skeletal disproportion of the eunuchoidal or even of the acromegalic type. This association leads to examine the causal role of the hormonal status.
