Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study diagnosis and differential diagnosis of Kallmann syndrome.
METHODSThe examinations including routine karyotyping, sex hormone, GnRH stimulation test and MRI were performed.
RESULTSCytogenetic analysis of his peripheral lymphocyte by G banding showed a normal male karyotype. GnRH stimulation test presented a good reaction. Plasma levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone were very low. Absent olfactory bulb was found by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
CONCLUSIONKaryotype analysis, sexual hormone, GnRH stimulation test and MRI are very important the diagnosis of Kallmann syndrome.
