Abstract
We present a 22-year old girl with MPHD and a normal pituitary imaging (MRI) who grew to normal size without GH. She was very obese. At age 19 years replacement therapy with hydrocortisone, L-thyroxine and sex steroids was started. Despite severe growth hormone deficiency according to the provocative tests and decreased IGF I level our patient grew normally. On follow up at age 22 she is 174cm tall.Entities:
