Abstrakt: Perrault syndrome is a rare genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive group of disorders described in 1951 by Perrault as gonadal dysgenesis with deafness. Here we present a rare case of sporadic Perrault syndrome with short stature and growth hormone deficiency (GHD). Although there was a report on partial GHD in Perrault, our case is a first of its kind with documented GHD (Nishi Y, Hamamoto K, Kajiyama M, Kawamura I. The Perrault syndrome: clinical report and review. Am J Med Genet 1988;31:623-9). We report this case because of the rarity of keeping this condition as a differential diagnosis while evaluating for short stature with amenorrhea. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
