This case report highlights a patient with Ayme-Gripp syndrome, revealing an association between the syndrome and hypothyroidism, and underscores the importance of considering rare genetic conditions in differential diagnoses of endocrinopathies.

This report describes a neurometabolic disorder linked to gain-of-function variants in the ODC1 gene, characterized by developmental delay, ectodermal abnormalities, and notable facial and neuroimaging features.

This case report details a 13-year-old boy with Cushing syndrome, where BIPSS identified the pituitary gland as the cortisol excess source and hormonal tests showed suppressed puberty markers.
