Pathophysiology
Etiology
Manifestations
Primary amenorrhea: absence of menarche
↓ release of GnRH → ↓ pituitary release of FSH and LH
Ovaries fail to produce estrogen
and progesterone
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism
↑ GnRH
↑ FSH, LH
↓ estrogen, progesterone
↓ GnRH
↓/nl FSH, LH
↓ estrogen, progesterone
Kallmann syndrome: Defective migration of GnRH-releasing neurons from olfactory bulbs to hypothalamic preoptic nuclei → ↓ GnRH secretion and underdevelopment of the olfactory bulbs
Anosmia / hyposmia
Functional hypothalamic amenorrhea: ↓ leptin and/or ↑ cortisol → ↓ pulsatile release of GnRH
Competitive sports
Stress
Eating disorders
CNS tumors (e.g., craniopharyngioma)
Prader-Willi syndrome: loss of genes on chromosome 15
Muscular hypotonia, poor feeding
Hyperphagia → obesity
Short stature, scoliosis
Developmental delays
Gonadal dysgenesis
Swyer syndrome (46,XY)
Streak ovaries
Short stature
Webbed neck
Wide-spaced nipples
Anatomic anomalies → outflow tract obstruction
Vaginal atresia
Imperforate hymen
Müllerian agenesis
Transverse vaginal septum
Normal GnRH, FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone
Receptor / enzyme abnormalities
5-alpha-reductase deficiency (“penis at 12”)
Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH): 17-alpha-hydroxylase deficiency

This is fucking awesome and I love the color coding. What you're doing is really appreciated by a 3rd year.
