Abstract

Key Clinical Message: The stalling or regression of pubertal development may be the first sign of hypergonadotropic hypogonadism in adolescent males. We report here a case of pediatric hypergonadotropic hypogonadism that likely developed secondary to ischemic injury during severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This case highlights the importance of performing genital exams during all evaluations of pediatric patients.
