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.
