摘要：

Kallmann syndrome is a rare genetic disorder due to abnormal migration of olfactory axons and gonadotropin releasing hormone producing neurons, characterised by hypogonadism and anosmia. We report a case of Kallmann syndrome in a 20-year-old married male with characteristic clinical, biochemical and MRI findings and his management initially with testosterone to induce yid lisation and later with gonadotropins to initiate spermatogenesis. The importance of the report is that it highlights a rare case where appropriate diagnosis and management could restore masculinity and probably fertility.
