Normosmic idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (nIHH) is a rare disorder with pubertal delay, normal sense of smell. nIHH with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 mutation is much more common in adult males but is rarely reported in females. In addition, the assessment and monitoring of ovarian function in nIHH females has often been ignored. We report a 24-year-old nIHH female with the complaint of primary amenorrhea and delayed secondary sexual traits development. Whole-Exome Sequencing analysis revealed a novel mutation in the third exon of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 gene (c.289 G &gt; A), which resulted in the replacement of glycine acid with serine. Then the patient was recommended to start with the hormone therapy (HT). After several months of estrogen combined with progesterone replacement, the patient had regular menstruation. The breast development and genital development gradually became Tanner stage 5. Anti-Müllerian hormones (AMHs) were also evaluated and the serum AMH level keeps fluctuating within the normal reference range. We highlight the great variability of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 mutation phenotypes and the evaluation of ovarian reserve in nIHH, and the hormone replacement therapy is necessary to improve secondary sexual development for patients with nIHH.
