Abstract

Primary ovarian failure (POF) is a heterogeneous disorder affecting approximately 1% of women <40 years. The most severe forms present with absent pubertal development and primary amenorrhea.Fifty percent of these cases are due to ovarian dysgenesis.These patients have poor fertility potential and are at risk of development of metabolic and systemic complications due to low levels of oestrogen. The diagnosis of POF may have a deleterious psychological impact and may lead to depression in a young, otherwise healthy woman.A case report of a teenage girl ,who presented with primary amenorrhoea due to ovarian failure is presented .She was investigated to confirm the diagnosis.Parents were counselled about the poor fertility prospects and the risk of other metabolic and systemic complications in long run due to low level of oestrogen.
