[Hypoglycemia and cholestatic jaundice in congenital panhypopituitarism].

The case of a female newborn who was first found to have severe recurrent hypoglycemia and then developed cholestasis with conjugated hyperbilirubinemia is presented. No infectious diseases, metabolic defects, or disease of the hepatobiliary system were found. Endocrinological investigations revealed panhypopituitarism. Hypoplasia or aplasia of the pituitary was suspected. Cholestasis and hyperbilirubinemia must be seen in association with growth hormone and cortisol deficiency in the context of pathogenesis.
