We report the case of a young boy being considered for pituitary surgery because of pituitary enlargement found during assessment of growth delay. There was no goitre but he was hypothyroid clinically and biochemically. The finding of an elevated TSH suggested primary thyroid disease with thyrotroph hyperplasia. Treatment with L-thyroxine resulted in prompt resolution of his pituitary enlargement and improvement in his visual fields.
我们报告了一名因生长发育迟缓评估时发现垂体增大而考虑接受垂体手术的小男孩的病例。他没有甲状腺肿，但临床和生化检查显示为甲状腺功能减退。促甲状腺激素升高提示原发性甲状腺疾病伴促甲状腺细胞增生。左甲状腺素治疗使他的垂体增大迅速消退，视野也有所改善。
