Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) is an uncommon cause of male infertility and a congenital or secondary disorder characterized by delayed or absent sexual maturation. Congenital abnormalities leading to HH are usually the consequence of deficient GnRH secretion occurring either in isolation (idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH)), or in association with anosmia (Kallmann syndrome; KS...

متن کاملMoebius syndrome in association with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
The association between hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and multiple CNS lesions in a variety of disorders suggests a possible causative link between these clinical findings. Neural afferent input into the hypothalamus from higher CNS centers modulates GnRH secretion and derangements of these neural pathways could potentially result in diminished gonadotropin secretion and hypogonadism. This repo...
متن کاملCongenital Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism and Kallmann Syndrome: Past, Present, and Future
The proper development and coordination of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis are essential for normal reproductive competence. The key factor that regulates the function of the HPG axis is gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Timely release of GnRH is critical for the onset of puberty and subsequent sexual maturation. Misregulation in this system can result in delayed or absent p...
