title: [Premature ovarian failure and pregnancy].
abstract: Two cases of premature ovarian failure (POF) diagnosed by clinical symptomatology, persistently elevated levels of gonadotropins and hypoestrogenism, are presented. Gonadal biopsy was done on the patients, which disclosed no evidence of primordial follicles in one and severe reduction in the other. Estrogen substitutive therapy was started to ameliorate their menopausal symptoms and spontaneously conceived. A review of the literature related to the syndrome is presented.
