Presentation [ edit ] Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism presents as hypogonadism, e.g., reduced or absent puberty, [1] low libido, infertility, etc. due to an impaired release of the gonadotropins, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing [en.wikipedia.org]
Cerebellar ataxia is present in nearly 40 percent of individuals. However, there is marked variability in the rate of progression. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

In this report, we offer a brief overview of the diagnosis and management of IHH and present the case of a 27 year old male with undiagnosed IHH. [omicsonline.org]

Splenomegaly
All patients with AHH had undergone splenectomy due to hypersplenism and/or massive splenomegaly, versus 50% of the control group. [mjhid.org]

Osteopenia
Women with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism are at a high risk of dislipidemia, urogenital disorders and osteopenia. Hormonal replacement therapy provides positive effects on BMD, lipid profile, urogenital status and well-being of these patients. [endocrine-abstracts.org]

The symptoms of low testosterone in men range from lack of energy, depressed mood, loss of vitality, muscle atrophy (sarcopenia), muscles aches, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and weight gain...to bone loss (osteopenia), osteoporosis, mild anemia, [tupincho.net]
An abdominal CT and DEXA scan revealed undescended testes and osteopenia, respectively. He was diagnosed as IHH. The patient was provided with supplementary vitamin D, calcium and referrals to endocrinology and urology for orchiopexy. [omicsonline.org]
Osteopenia or osteoporosis was defined according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, based on BMD expressed as Z-score: osteopenia (Z-score between –1 to –2.5 SD) and osteoporosis (Z-score 19 ] Z-score is the number of standard deviations above [mjhid.org]

Etiology
If the patient has normal pubertal development and a uterus, the most common etiology is congenital outflow tract obstruction with a transverse vaginal septum or imperforate hymen. [aafp.org]

Etiology is usually unknown. Sperm counts may be slightly low if one testis is undescended but are almost always very low if both are undescended. [merckmanuals.com]
Although a strong association between pituitary R2 and pituitary volume with clinical disease suggests that secondary hypogonadism is the dominant etiology, we cannot exclude tertiary hypogonadism. [mjhid.org]

We call this primary hypogonadism. 00:53 How would you call this pathophysiologically? You would call this hypogonadism. The testis are not functioning properly. [lecturio.com]

While SOCS-3 interferes with insulin signal transduction by causing the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of IRS-1 ( 27 ), IKK-β induces serine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and thus prevents insulin signal transduction though IRS-1 ( 28 ). [care.diabetesjournals.org]
