Hypopituitarism association with blindness in a 5 year old boy: A case report and literature review

Further assessment confirmed a diagnosis of septo-optic dysplasia. Optic nerve hypoplasia is a leading cause of congenital blindness.

Three classifications of the disorder are recognized and are discussed here.
