ABSTRACT
Hypothalamic amenorrhea is secondary to the dysfunction of the hypothalamic pacemaker that regulates the pulsatile secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). We report a 21 years old female with an isolated and persistent hypogonadotropic hypogonadism probably of congenital origin. The patient had a good olfactory function, did not have anatomical alterations and two GnRH stimulation tests showed a pre puberal pattern. Hormone replacement therapy allowed her to complete her puberal development.
