MON-254 Sympromic Hypogonadism: Co- Existence of Morsier and Klinefelter Syndromes

INTRODUCTION: Morsier Syndrome is a rare congenital malformation, characterized by hypoplasia / aplasia of the septum pellucidum and hypoplasia / aplasia of the optic nerves, in addition to pituitary and hypothalamic hormonal deficiencies. Klinefelter Syndrome is a sexual chromosomal genetic alterat...

description INTRODUCTION: Morsier Syndrome is a rare congenital malformation, characterized by hypoplasia / aplasia of the septum pellucidum and hypoplasia / aplasia of the optic nerves, in addition to pituitary and hypothalamic hormonal deficiencies. Klinefelter Syndrome is a sexual chromosomal genetic alteration, a frequent cause of male hypogonadism, The association of Morsier syndrome and Klinefelter is described below. CLINICAL CASE We report he case of a 12 year-old boy with psychomotor retardation and nystagumsho presented at 14 months of age with growth hormone deficiency (low weight and height,) and diabetes insipuidus with hypernatremia of of 159 mEq and low urinary density (less than 1,005). MRI showed an absence of septum pellucidum, thick right frontal cortical dysplasia with asymmetric appearance of the grooves, small optic chiasma, hypoplastic pitutary gland (3 mm height), compatible with Morsier syndrome. The physical examination draws attention to tall stature, and long lower limbs, facies with prominent forehead and hypertelorism, gynecomastia and small external genitalia for age. Hormonal evaluation revealed hypergonadotropic hypogonadism with a 47 XXY karyoteype suggeting Klinefelter syndrome. CONCLUSION: We report the first case of Morsier syndrome, associated to Klinefelter syndrome. Both syndromes may present with hypogonadism. However, the diagnosis of klinefelter syndrome was made based on the phenotypic characteristics of this patient including hyeprgonadotroic hypogonadism and abnormal karyotype analysis.
