Neonatal hypopituitarism presenting with poor feeding, hypoglycemia and prolonged unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia

Abstract

The association between neonatal hypopituitarism and unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia has rarely been documented. We report a female infant who presented with persistent poor feeding, episodic borderline hypoglycemia and prolonged unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia; investigation revealed hypopituitarism. The diagnosis of hypopituitarism should therefore be considered in neonates presenting with prolonged unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia.
