  • Title: The gonadotropin-resistant ovary syndrome in association with secondary amenorrhea.
    Author: Dalemans P, Buytaert P, Meulyzer P.
    Journal: Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol; 1979 Oct; 9(5):327-34. PubMed ID: 122535.
    Abstract:
    A young patient with secondary amenorrhea and primary infertility is described. After a gynecological-endocrinological exploration including laparoscopy, the diagnosis indicates secondary hypergonadotropic, hypo-estrogenic normo-androgenic amenorrhea. The anatomopathological examination of an ovarian biopsy revealed an intact follicular apparatus, thus disproving the suspected diagnosis of climacterium praecox. Since very high gonadotropin doses could not induce an ovulation, it was concluded that the rare combination of secondary amenorrhea and the gonadotropin-resistant ovary syndrome must be present. The pathogenesis of this syndrome is discussed.
