The successful treatment of a case of primary sterility resulting from Fredrickson's Type V hyperlipemia and panhypopituitarism.
Successful treatment of primary sterility in a woman having the rare association of panhypopituitarism with Fredrickson's Type V hyperlipemia is described. Replacement therapy with l-thyroxine, prednisone and a low fat diet cleared the patient's blood of the excessive chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins. Ovulation was induced with human gonadotrophins, and triplets (two normal girls and a boy) were born.
