2 case reports regarding patients with a psychosocial dwarfism. Both children showed clinical and endocrinological signs of "idiopathic" hypopituitarism. Both patients came from economically well situated families of the upper middle-class. Disturbances in eating and sleeping behaviour are important hints that there might be a psychosocial etiology.
