Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a rare congenital abnormality of the pituitary gland. It is associated with either isolated growth hormone deficiency or combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD). Neonatal PSIS is extremely rare and difficult to diagnose and can be life threatening if diagnosed late. In this manuscript, we descripted a case of neonatal PSIS who is treated at the department ofPediatric Endocrinology atHassan II University Hospital Center of Fez.Sustained hypoglycemia and jaundice in newborns, indicate the presentation of PSIS. Early recognition is of great importance to avoid a life-threatening crisis.
