SYNDROME OF OVARIAN AGENESIS (CONGENITALLY APLASTIC OVARIES)

[摘要] A proved case of the syndrome of ovarian agenesis, short stature, multiple congenital abnormalities and high urinary gonadotropins in a 2 year, 8 month old female is presented.Congenital anomalies included webbed neck, abnormalities of the feet, a moderate degree of cubitus valgus and defects of the vertebrae.Only slight retardation of epiphyseal development was present by the fourth year of life.Because of the marked variations in the levels of urinary gonadotropins in this patient, it is suggested that more than one assay should be performed in a preadolescent girl before it is concluded that the gonadotropins are not increased.
