Evaluation of an Infant with Cholestasis and Congenital Hypopituitarism
Authors
Abstract:
We are reporting an infant with persistent abnormal liver function, neonatal jaundice, and intermittent hypoglycemia. Evaluation confirmed congenital hypopituitarism, in the absence of congenital anomalies and midline defect. His jaundice and abnormal liver function improved after treatment with Levothyroxine and hydrocortisone.

Optic nerve hypoplasia with hypopituitarism and intact septum pellucidum is a variant of septo-optic dysplasia or deMorsier's syndrome.' Although neonatal jaundice has been seen with this syndrome, the association with severe prolonged cholestatic jaundice has not been emphasised. We describe three patients who presented with cholestatic jaundice and were found to have optic nerve hypoplasia an...

We read with interest the paper by Kaufman et al' on neonatal cholestasis and hypopituitarism. We have been treating a similar patient whose problems were complicated by diabetes insipidus of pituitary origin. She was referred from another hospital at the age of 1 month for assessment of secondary hypothyroidism, cholestatic jaundice, temperature instability, and microcephaly. She was born at 4...
full textA congenital hypopituitarism infant presented with unexplained hypoglycemia
Congenital hypopituitarism may present with non-specific symptoms, so it is difficult to diagnose in newborn infants. If hypopituitarism cannot be recognized, recurrent hypoglycemia can occur, leading to permanent brain damage. At 14 hours of age, a 2.9 kg, female infant, born at 35 weeks of gestation, presented with respiratory distress caused by hypoglycemia. She had no risk factor to develop...

In addition, no signs of systemic amyloidosis suggestive of FAP were evident 7 years after the patient’s initial presentation, although we cannot exclude the possibility of a subclinical level of amyloid deposition in oth...
