| Popis: |
Some children grow normally or excessively after extirpation of a craniopharyngioma, despite growth hormone deficiency. We report a 4-year-old girl with suprasellar craniopharyngioma. Removal of the tumor resulted in panhypopituitarism. For the next 5 years growth continued at a rate of 8.4-10.6 cm/year and then decreased progressively to 1.2 cm/year. Administration of growth hormone increased growth rate to 9.3 cm/year. |
