Endocrine dysfunction in the diencephalic syndrome of emaciation in infancy.

A 10-month-old boy with the clinical features of the diencephalic syndrome of emaciation due to a suprasellar spongioblastoma is described. The patient showed high basal levels of growth hormone (GH greater than 80 muU/ml on several occasions). In addition, elevated concentration of plasma testosterone (125.5 ng/100ml) was combined with a relatively high LH-increase to LHRH (45.6 mU/ml). After completion of irradiation basal GH-levels had been normalized, and GH responses to insulin induced hypoglycemia (IIH) and propranolol-glucagon (PG) were adequate. Complete clinical remission of emaciation occurred soon after radiation therapy and went parallel with the normalization of GH-regulation.
