Abstract
The most common cause of meningitis is Tubercular meningitis (TBM) and it leads to irreparable neurological
consequences, morbidity and mortality if not treated. The usual complication of TBM in survivors are neurologic
sequelae including mental retardation, sensorineural hearing loss, hydrocephalus, endocrinological disorders, cranial
nerve palsies, stroke-associated lateralizing neurological deficits, seizures and coma. We are presenting here a case report
of a 20 year old female who presented to us with primary amenorrhoea as a result of hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism
due to pituitary stalk injury caused by childhood tubercular meningitis.
