Abstract		Congenital hypopituitarism is a well-known cause of recurrent neonatal hypoglycaemia, secondary thyroid and adrenocortical insufficiency, and growth hormone deficiency. Clinical clues to the diagnosis include the presence of midline facial abnormalities, microphallus in boys, optic hypoplasia and, rarely, cholestatic jaundice. We report a further patient with congenital hypopituitarism presenting with cholestatic jaundice. Congenital hypopituitarism should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a neonate presenting with obstructive jaundice.
