Patient report: sacral agenesis with hypopituitarism

We report an association of sacral agenesis and hypopituitarism in a child born of a diabetic mother. The child presented with short stature and evaluation revealed sacral agenesis, growth hormone defi ciency (GHD) and adrenal insuffi ciency. This association might be important as short stature in children with sacral agenesis is usually attributed to mechanical factors. Early detection of GHD and treatment might help the child in gaining height.
