Perrault syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and female gonadic eukaryotic dysgenesis. Here, we report the case of a 20-year-old female that presented to her internal medicine physician after suffering from secondary amenorrhea. After multiple negative pregnancy tests done with primary care physicians, a further evaluation by an internal medicine specialist showed an elevated FSH and LH as well as a small uterus and streak ovaries on transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound. She was referred to the OB-GYN service, gonadal dysgenesis was diagnosed, and proper treatment was initiated. We intend to highlight this presentation of ovarian dysfunction and provide guidance for the proper diagnosis and management of the said disorder.
佩罗特综合征是一种罕见的常染色体隐性遗传病,其特征为感音神经性听力损失和女性性腺真核发育不全。在此,我们报告一例20岁女性病例,该患者因继发性闭经就诊于内科医生。在初级保健医生进行多次妊娠试验均为阴性后,内科专家进一步评估发现促卵泡生成素(FSH)和促黄体生成素(LH)升高,经腹和经阴道超声检查显示子宫小且卵巢呈条索状。她被转诊至妇产科,诊断为性腺发育不全,并开始了适当的治疗。我们旨在强调这种卵巢功能障碍的表现,并为该疾病的正确诊断和管理提供指导。
