KALLMANN SYNDROME AND ASSOCIATED MALFORMATION OF THE UTERUS

Kallmann syndrome is a rare combination of hypogonadotropic hypogonadi sm due to hypothalamic insufficiency and anosmia. In both patients tre ated at our institution for infertility, a malformation of the uterus was noted: one patient had a unicornuate uterus, the other a uterus wi th a fundal hypoplasia and tubes of approximately 9 cm. It is not clea r if the malformation is in association with Kallmann syndrome or pure ly coincidental. Given the known association of other malformations wi th Kallnann syndrome, we suppose that probably an underlying genetic d efect having to do with organogenesis is the cause of the uterine malf ormations.
