Abstract
We report the case of a man (P.T.) with Down's Syndrome who has been p resented with endocrine changes in adult life. Thyroid abnormalities h ave been known to be associated with Down's Syndrome for some years (K orsager et al., 1978), but there is no reported association between ab normalities in pituitary function and Down's Syndrome.
