Abstrakt: Seventy-nine patients with sexual development retardation were examined, 24 of these suffered from ovarian genesis condition and 55 from central genesis condition. The findings evidence that detection of the uterus and gonads presenting as cords is one of the diagnostic criteria indicating gonadal dysgenesis. Echographic examinations carried out over the course of therapy yield a more accurate picture of ovarian function. No increase in uterine size on the echogram after discontinuation of hormonal therapy and the appearance of follicles in the ovaries after treatment point to normally functioning ovaries and helps specify the origin of sexual development retardation. In sexual development retardation of a central origin ultrasonic scanning helps assess the therapy efficacy and predict its outcome.
