title: Spermiological findings in various disturbances of somatosexual development.
abstract: It is described to which extent the fertility potential in the following six groups of patients living in sterile marriages is lowered: in 298 patients with Klinefelter's syndrome, 38 hypogonadotropic eunuchoids, 216 bilateral and 258 unilateral cryptorchids, in 500 men with testicular hypoplasia in whom the long axis of both testicles had always been shorter than 34 mm, and in 109 men with a varicocele. The opinion is expressed that the above mentioned pathologic states of the genital organs are of primary nature and occurred at various stages of somato-sexual development.
