Delayed Epiphyseal Closure Seen on Tc-99m Methylene Disphosphonate Bone Scan in Association With Hypopituitarism

Evaluation of scintigraphic uptake at growth plates is a well-established method to assess the osteoblastic activity of skeletally immature patients for possible growth arrest secondary to vascular insult. Underlying endocrine abnormalities are known to be contributory in delayed epiphyseal closure....
