A case of a 6 year old boy with Kabuki make‐up syndrome with central diabetes insipidus and growth hormone neurosecretory dysfunction is reported. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed abnormal findings of the pituitary gland and stalk. Good catch‐up growth was obtained by treatment with growth hormone. These findings suggest that hypothalamic‐pituitary dysfunction might be involved in Kabuki make‐up syndrome.
