Shankar Poudel, Upama Sangroula, Ashik Rajak

Abstract

Kallmann syndrome is a rare genetically inherited condition characterized by hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism and anosmia or hyposmia. It is due to failure of migration of gonadotrophic releasing hormone neuron and olfactory neuron to hypothalamus.
