Magnetic resonance imaging of the hypoplasia of the rhinencephalon in a patient with Kallmann's syndrome.
A patient with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia (Kallmann's syndrome) is described. Anosmia has been believed to be due to hypoplasia of the rhinencephalon. This anatomical defect was demonstrated in vivo in a patient with Kallmann's syndrome by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
