[The limits and boundaries of De Morsier's syndrome (based on 33 personal cases) (author's transl)].
If De Morsier's syndrome represents the priviledged anatomo-clinical pattern of olfacto-genital correlations, the deteriorations of the sense of smell are not exclusively due to it. After having studied olfaction very precisely in 101 cases of hypogonadism, the authors report 17 cases of olfacto-genital displasia and bring out a clear hyposmia in other affections: Klinefelter's syndrome (25,7%), congenital anorchidism, puberty delay. A part from th: physio-pathological interpretation of these facts, there arises the problem of the precise nosological limits of De Morsier's syndrome.
