1、INTRODUCTION:Kallmann syndrome is an inherited disorder characterized by hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism and anosmia or hyposmia. KS is due to abnormal migration of gonado-tropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) as well as olfactory neurons from olfactory placode to the forebrain and hypothalamus during feta
2、l life. Structural olfactory tract abnormalities are well seen on MRIPURPOSE: the aim of this work is to describe the MR appearance of the olfactory bulbs and tracts in patients with Kallmann syndrome, MIETHODS: High-resolution MR scans were performed in two patients with Kallmann syndrome. Coronal
3、T2 weighted contiguous sections were obtained through the olfactory bulbs and tracti.RESULTS: Cases:A 15-year-old female and 20-year-old male adressed to MRI for hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (Serum LH 1.5 IU/L, Serum FSH 1.5 IU/L, Testosterone 20 ng/dl) and hyposmia.Coronal T2-weighted MR images t
4、hrough the anterior fossa shows: aplasia of both olfactory bulb and absence of the left olfactory sulcus (case1).Bilateral aplasia of olfactory bulb with normal olfactory tract (case2)No other cranial abnormality found.CASE 1:Coronal T2-weighted MR image through the anterior fossa. olfactory bulbs a
5、re absent and the left olfactory sulcus is hypoplastic.CASE 2: coronal T2 images through the frontal lobes demonstrate abnormal anatomy with absence of the olfactory bulbs. Olfactory sulcus,the gyrus rectus and medial orbital gyrus are normal.DISCUSSION:Kallmann syndrome is an inherited disorder cha
6、racterized by hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism and anosmia or hyposmia.The inheritance may be X-linked, Autosomal recessive or Autosomal dominant with variable penetrance.The reported incidence is 1 in 10,000 men and 1 in 50,000 women. Kallmann syndrome is an anomaly of neuronal migration. Cells that
7、differentiate into Gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) secreting neurons originate from within embryonic olfactory epithelium and migrate along fascicles of vomeronasal and terminalis nerves into forebrain.This migration of GnRH neurons is arrested in KS resulting in GnRH deficiency followed by d
8、ifferent degrees of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) deficiencies.Abnormal development of olfactory placode also results in improper development of olfactory bulbs and sulci. diagnosis of KS in adults is fairly straightforward,depending on the co-existence of anosmia w
9、ith subnormal levels of gonadal steroids and gonadotrophins. However the diagnosis may be difficult to establish in patients of pre-pubertal age who may require genetic testing and MRI. In such patients, MRI enables a presumptive diagnosis of KS to be made by demonstrating characteristic abnormaliti

High resolutions coronal fast spin echo T2W images are the preferred sequences for morphologic evaluation of the olfactory system.Olfactory bulbs are optimally visualized
11、 in coronal planes. it is easier to appreciate anatomicalanomaliespresent in Kallmann syndrome by comparing it to a normal patient. The normal anatomy of the region consists of the olfactory bulbs located in the olfactory grooves of the anterior cranial fossa. The inferior surface of the frontal lob
