    Abstract:
    A case of congenital hypopituitarism with microphallus and severe neonatal hypoglycemia is described. The results of the clinical examination and of the tests of hypothalamo-pituitary function are discussed. It is reported that with GH replacement therapy a considerable growth of the penile size was obtained. The importance of evaluating the pituitary function in patients with micropenis and neonatal hypoglycemia is emphasized.
