General health status and intelligence scores of children of mothers with acromegaly do not differ from those of healthy mothers.

Purpose: To determine the physical status and intelligence scores of children of acromegalic mothers and to compare them with those of children from mothers without acromegaly.

Methods: Six women with acromegaly who became pregnant under follow-up between 2010 and 2014 and their 16 children (group A) were assessed and compared with 16 children of healthy women (group B) and 15 children of women with prolactinoma (group C). The physical examinations of children were performed by the department of pediatric endocrinology and intelligence quotient (IQ) testing was undertaken by adult and pediatric psychiatry departments, using appropriate scales for their ages.
