Chronic hydrocephalus associated with short stature and growth hormone deficiency.

D B Hier, A C Wiehl.   

Abstract

A 28-year-old man with chronic hydrocephalus due to aqueductal stenosis was found to have a subnormal response of growth hormone to arginine infusion. It is postulated that compression of the pituitary by the enlarged third ventricle produced a deficiency of growth hormone and short stature.
