Hypothyroidism and Hypogonadism Associated with Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Primary hypothyroidism is one of the most common endocrine diseases. It is associated with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, which is reversible with thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis most commonly affects the adolescent population, usually individuals between 8 and 15 years old. However, there are few case reports of older patients in the literature to date. Here, we present the case of a 34-year-old male patient, who presented with absence of secondary sexual characteristics and unilateral limp. Upon clinical, biochemical and radiological investigations, the patient was found to have primary hypothyroidism and secondary hypogonadism associated with skeletal immaturity and Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE).
