Abstract

The Authors have observed a case of hypopituitary patient in 15 year-old Korean child for 10 months. Since he was discharged, he was taken the hormonal therapy with corticosteroid and T₃. As the result of it, his body weight increased by 1.2kg and height grew by 3cm. However it is not clear whether this growth is due to the child's natural growth or due to the above hormonal therapy.
