Abstract

Isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is characterized by impaired gonadotropin release in the context of normal anatomical and functional anterior pituitary function. The conditions usually responsible for hypogonadotropic hypogonadism are pituitary adenoma, neoplastic metastasis, granulomatous processes, lymphocitary hypophysitis, histiocytosis X, hemochromatosis, vascular pathologies. We present a case of isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism associated with interhemispheric lipoma and hypoplasia of the corpus callosum.
