Abstract
A case of dwarfism associated with Cushing's disease in a 15-year boy is described. Cessation of growth was accompanied by undetectable levels of plasma immunoreactive growth hormone in the fasting state and a complete lack of response to insulin induced hypoglycaemia. After total bilateral adrenalectomy, normal growth was rapidly resumed while a normal rise in plasma growth hormone was observed during an insulin tolerance test.Keywords
