He had been treated by the insertion of a ventricular—peritoneal shunt to reduce hydrocephalus and 5500 cGy of craniospinal irradiation. Over the course of his 26th year, it was noted that his standing height decreased by 6 cm. His serum biochemistry was normal. In particular, the serum calcium was 2.45 mmol/l (NR 2.22.6 mmol/l), the Pi 1.1 mmol/l (NR 0.81.4 mmol/l) and the albumin 38 g/l (NR 3848 g/l) and his replacement endocrine medication of hydrocortisone, thyroxine and mixed testosterone esters was unchanged.
