Likelihood of persistent GH deficiency into late adolescence: relationship to the presence of an ectopic or normally sited posterior pituitary gland
Clinical Endocrinology, 07/13/09

Murray PG et al. - It is important to document GH status at the end of growth, even if there is a structural abnormality of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.
