A 10 year old child is brought in by parents because her teacher has noted that she has visual impairments. You note decreased peripheral vision on exam. On her growth chart, you note that she is 3% of her expected height and weight. She has no signs of puberty yet. The only complaint she has is headache. Laboratory testing shows decreased growth hormone, GnRH, and TSH.
