[Acquired post-traumatic and idiopathic hypothalamic panhypopituitarism in adults. Three cases (author's transl)]

Three cases of hypothalamic panhypopituitarism in male adults are reported. Two of them, without antidiuretic hormone deficiency, succeeded to a closed head injury. The third one was associated with impaired posterior pituitary function and presumably was of idiopathic origin, since radiological and ophthalmological investigations gave normal results, although the disease seemed to have begun some 20 years before.
