Two cases of a syndrome of hemihypertrophy, shortness of stature, and elevated levels of urinary gonadotropins are reported. One of the children was a male, the other a female.
The hemihypertrophy and shortness of stature had been present since birth and the elevated gonadotropins were found at 5
and 6 years, respectively.
The possible relationship to other conditions in childhood including those which also have increased gonadotropins is discussed.
