[Spaniomenorrhea and hypermenorrhea in the female adolescent. Aspects and management].

Ninety percent of cases of metrorrhagia during puberty are of functional origin and related to short, monophasic cycles. Emergency care may sometimes necessitate rapid administration of estrogens. Treatment of the underlying condition involves the administration of progestogens 10 days per cycle or, less frequently, artificial cycles. Spaniomenorrhea during puberty may, less commonly, be due to ovarian dystrophy. Functional forms should be treated only if they are accompanied by mastopathy.

Embryonic testicular regression syndrome and severe mental retardation in sibs.

The embryonic testicular regression syndrome associated with severe mental retardation is reported in three 46,XY sibs each of whom has a 46,XY chromosome complement. A fourth sib, a sister, also is severely retarded mentally; her chromosome complement is 46,XX. The 46,XY individuals, who were raised as females, presented varying degrees of genital ambiguity, indicating that their gonadal activities had been arrested at different times during embryogenesis. No trace of gonadal tissue could be found in either patient. The coincidence of the embryonic testicular regression syndrome and severe mental retardation in the same sibship is discussed.
