    <abstract language="eng">We present the case of a young male patient who arrived at the emergency room due to headache, constitutional and gastrointestinal symptoms. Upon presentation and during hospitalization, a complex clinical and chemical picture unfolded, and several diagnoses were considered. Eventually, it was concluded that panhypopituitarism secondary to craniopharyngioma was the cause of his symptoms. This long-standing condition was unmasked by an acute infection with Parvovirus. Treatment with hormone replacement therapy brought prompt improvement in both laboratory values and clinical condition.</abstract>
