The resistant ovary syndrome la sindrome da ovaio resistente

After briefly recapitulating present-day knowledge on this recently identified syndrome with its polymorphic clinical and laboratory pattern, the authors describe three cases that have come to their attention. The most interesting was case III which was successfully treated on the basis of analogous reports found in the literature, with large doses of HMG-HCG in spite of the apparent "physiological absurdity" of this treatment. The authors stress the discrepancy frequently observed between functional diagnosis and histological findings; they suggest some possible explanations but stress the need for further research in order to clarify the nature of the functional damage in these patients and the level at which it is situated.
