RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a common hip disorder characterized by displacement of the capital femoral epiphysis from the metaphysic through the femoral epiphyseal plate. SCFE usually occurs during puberty, with obesity a common risk factor. We experienced a rare case of SCFE associated with hypothyroidism in a prepubescent patient who was not obese. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was an 8-year-old boy suffering from bilateral SCFE with hypothyroidism. The patient's growth had started to slow at 4 years of age, and at 8 years he was of short stature. During his evaluation for SCFE management, primary hypothyroidism was diagnosed due to the presence of anti-thyroid peroxidase and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies. After the patient was treated for hypothyroidism, which improved his thyroid function, surgery was performed for bilateral SCFE. CONCLUSIONS: Among the 42 patients with SCFE associated with hypothyroidism in the literature, most SCFE occurred during puberty or in adults with delayed epiphyseal closure. Only two patients (4.8%), including the present patient, were ≤9 years old. Although being overweight or obese is common for patients with SCFE associated with hypothyroidism (76.0%), it was not observed in the present case. Persistent hypothyroidism, however, may be a risk factor for SCFE even before puberty and without obesity.
