[Management of an ovarian stimulation in case of a Kallmann-De Morsier syndrome. The role of LH].

Abstract

We report a case of ovarian stimulation in a woman with a Kallmann-De Morsier syndrome, which resulted in a triple pregnancy and childbirth by caesarean section at 36 weeks of amenorrhea of three girls weighing from 1,950 to 2,300 g. Starting from a literature review of Kallmann-De Morsier syndrome, we discuss the role of LH during the follicular phase and the monitoring of ovarian stimulation.
