Abstract
Two infants with idiopathic panhypopituitarism presented with severe neonatal hypoglycemia, hepatomegaly and hyperbilirubinemia (direct and indirect). Abnormal liver function tests returned to normal over a 5-8 mo. period. The growth rate in the absence of detectable growth hormone [GH] was 50% of normal during the first 6 mo. The effect of GH on somatomedian levels and growth rate during the 1st year of life in 1 infant is described.Keywords
