A 28-year-old man presented with azoospermia, low plasma testosterone levels, and an elevated follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) concentration. Bilateral testicular biopsies revealed tubular atrophy with normal-appearing Leydig cells. One year later, symptoms and signs consistent with myotonic dystrophy (MyD) were noted. The rarity of male hypogonadism preceding the neurological manifestations of MyD is stressed.
一名28岁男性出现无精子症、血浆睾酮水平低下以及促卵泡生成素(FSH)浓度升高。双侧睾丸活检显示曲细精管萎缩,而间质细胞外观正常。一年后,发现了与强直性肌营养不良(MyD)相符的症状和体征。强调了在MyD的神经学表现之前出现男性性腺功能减退的罕见性。
