Abstract:
A 21 year old female patient with primary amenorrhoea was diagnosed to have isolated gonadotropin deficiency with probable functional hypothalamic amenorrhoea. The evaluation included buccal smear for sex chromatin, trial of medroxy-progesterone acetate, trial of oestrogen-progesterone preparation and estimation of serum prolactin, gonadotrophin and oestrogen levels. When diagnosed as isolated gonadotropin deficiency, treatment with gonadotropin is rewarding.
