Ovarian agenesis (OA) is a rare congenital condition characterized by the absence of one or both ovaries, often associated with chromosomal abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, and structural deformities. The condition is frequently diagnosed in females presenting with primary amenorrhea and delayed sexual development. This case report highlights a unique presentation of bilateral ovarian agenesis in a patient with chromosome X translocation, bone modeling disease, and primary amenorrhea. A 17-year-old female with primary amenorrhea and a Madelung deformity presented with wrist pain, paresthesia, and limited range of motion. Imaging revealed delayed joint growth, a fragility fracture, and osteoporosis. Further evaluation uncovered a small uterus and absent ovaries on ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Hormonal analysis showed elevated gonadotropins, follicle stimulation hormone and luteinizing hormone (FSH and LH), low estradiol, and low anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels. Laparoscopy confirmed rudimentary bilateral ovaries and chromosomal analysis revealed 46,X,der(X)t(X;3)(p11;p11), indicating an X chromosome translocation with an gene microdeletion. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral ovarian agenesis and referred for multidisciplinary care. Treatment included hormonal therapy with progyluton and estrofem, transitioning to marvilon, alongside physical therapy, nutritional support, and psychological counseling. After six months, the patient showed improvements in Tanner's score, weight, mood, and bone density (transition from osteoporosis to osteopenia). Menstruation was restored, reflecting the success of the combined hormonal therapy and supportive treatments.This case underscores the importance of integrating cytogenetic, hormonal, and clinical evaluations in diagnosing and managing rare presentations of ovarian agenesis. Early hormonal therapy and multidisciplinary care can significantly improve physical and psychological outcomes, including restoring menstruation and bone density. This is the first reported case of bilateral ovarian agenesis with chromosome X translocation presenting with phenotypic amenorrhea and bone deformities, demonstrating the value of tailored therapeutic approaches. Ongoing monitoring remains essential to ensure continued progress and mitigate long-term risks.
卵巢发育不全(OA)是一种罕见的先天性疾病,其特征是一侧或双侧卵巢缺失,常与染色体异常、激素失衡和结构畸形相关。该疾病常在出现原发性闭经和性发育延迟的女性中被诊断出来。本病例报告突出了一名患有X染色体易位、骨塑形疾病和原发性闭经的患者双侧卵巢发育不全的独特表现。一名17岁原发性闭经且患有马德隆畸形的女性出现手腕疼痛、感觉异常和活动范围受限。影像学检查显示关节生长延迟、脆性骨折和骨质疏松。进一步评估发现超声和磁共振成像(MRI)显示子宫小且卵巢缺失。激素分析显示促性腺激素、卵泡刺激素和黄体生成素(FSH和LH)升高,雌二醇水平低,抗苗勒管激素(AMH)水平低。腹腔镜检查证实双侧卵巢发育不全,染色体分析显示46,X,der(X)t(X;3)(p11;p11),表明存在X染色体易位伴基因微缺失。该患者被诊断为双侧卵巢发育不全,并被转诊接受多学科护理。治疗包括使用炔诺酮和雌二醇进行激素治疗,之后过渡到妈富隆,同时进行物理治疗、营养支持和心理咨询。六个月后,患者在坦纳评分、体重、情绪和骨密度方面均有改善(从骨质疏松转变为骨量减少)。月经恢复,这反映了联合激素治疗和支持性治疗的成功。本病例强调了在诊断和管理卵巢发育不全的罕见表现时整合细胞遗传学、激素和临床评估的重要性。早期激素治疗和多学科护理可以显著改善身体和心理状况,包括恢复月经和骨密度。这是首例报道的伴有X染色体易位且表现为表型闭经和骨畸形的双侧卵巢发育不全病例,证明了量身定制治疗方法的价值。持续监测对于确保持续进展和降低长期风险仍然至关重要。
