A few comments on Tayan-Reimann-Prasad syndrome.

摘要

My colleagues Demirel et al. should be congratulated for diagnosing hypopituitary hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and growth hormone deficiency in a 15-year-old boy who, in my opinion, also had Tayanc-Reimann-Prasad syndrome, as reported recently in the Journal, entitled "Hypopituitarism masquerading as Prasad's syndrome" (Turk J Pediatr 2011; 53: 702-704). Since zinc and iron deficiency, hepatosp-lenomegaly and pica are not related to hypopituitary hypogonadism with growth hormone deficiency and in view of the correction of anemia with zinc and iron supplementation, I would consider both diagnoses as associated findings in this case.
