Adult patients with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) typically present with absent puberty and therefore have prepubertal testes. IHH is recognized as one of the few curable causes of male infertility and is often effectively treated with either gonadotropins or pulsatile GnRH therapy. The objective of this study was to determine the structure of the testis prior to initiation of treatment.
