Excerpt

Congenital Hypopituitarism (CH) is defined as a deficiency of ≥2 pituitary hormones and can vary in severity and age at presentation. It has an incidence of 1–11/100,000 in the general pediatric population and may present in 1/3rd of cases as neonatal cholestasis (NC) [1, 2]. CH accounted for 1% of infants with NC in a pediatric hepatology centre in UK [1]. …
