Abstract

Genital hypoplasia may be limited to the sex organs, but usually it is accompanied by more general manifestations. These not only involve aberrations in physique but may, especially in older patients, lead to feelings of inferiority or inadequacy, neurasthenic behavior, and occasionally to actual reactive depressions. Since attempts to correct the physical defects may merely therefore prove inadequate, a series of cases is presented here which portray the clinical and therapeutic features involved in the treatment of such conditions. Case 1. M. S., a white male, now 14 years of age, was first seen in June 1933 because of the absence of testes. His family history was non-contributory. He was a full-term child who was delivered by high forceps with a birth weight of 8½ lbs. He was always obese and was troubled with polydypsia, polyuria and enuresis since early childhood.
