In 1968 she developed a syndrome of headache, fever, elevated antistreptolysin titer, enlarged and ballooned sella turcica, hypothyroidism secondary to TSH [thyrotropin] deficiency, secondary amenorrhea of pituitary genesis, probable growth hormone deficiency, and secondary adrenocortical insufficiency.
