Male Dwarf

ABSTRACT A 25-year-old male dwarf and his sister, a 31-year-old woman were investigated. Their respective heights were 114 and 97 cm with proportional statures. Their bone ages were that found in the adult subject. Thyroid functions and metyrapone test were normal and the total urinary gonadotrophin was determined in both cases. HGH secretion was not stimulated by insulin-induced hypoglycaemia, arginine infusion or exercise. Their parents and six other siblings were normal in height. The two patients were therefore assumed to be suffering from an isolated growth hormone deficiency with autosomal recessive inheritance.

AbstractCongenital toxoplasmosis represents the second most commonly recognized congenital infection. Ocular and neurological abnormalities are considered the most frequent sequelae. Endocrinological manifestations are rare and have received little attention. We report a 3.5-month-old female infant who presented with failure to thrive and recurrent hypoglycemic attacks, diagnosed as growth hormone deficiency due to sequelae of congenital toxoplasmosis. Although endocrinological sequelae of congenital toxoplasmosis are uncommon, they represent potentially treatable conditions. Here, we stress on the importance of monitoring pituitary function and growth in children in particular, with congenital toxoplasmosis, keeping in mind other possible, potentially treatable, endocrinological manifestations.
