    Abstract:
    Resistant ovary syndrome has been confirmed in 42 women using clinical, roentgenologic (craniography, hysterosalpingography, pneumogynecography, electroencephalography), genetic, sonographic, endoscopic and histologic studies. Fibrocystic breast disease was identified in 64% and normal ovarian size in 74% of the patients with resistant ovary syndrome. Progesterone test was positive in 84% of the patients. Resistant ovary syndrome was associated with higher serum estradiol levels as compared with ovarian dystrophy and pure gonadal dysgenesis. Diagnosis confirmation requires ovarian biopsy with a histological examination of ovarian specimen, but its outcome is not always significant.
