Abstract

To the Editor: Even If the Differences Reported by Hier and Crowley1 Are Valid and Do Reflect Spatial Ability, It Might Be Erroneous to Attribute Them to Androgen Deficiency by itself. a Large Number of Patients with Idiopathic Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism and Kallmann's Syndrome Have Not Only Agenesis of the Olfactory Lobes and Anosmia (As Noted by Hier and Crowley), But Also a Wide Variety of Serious Neurologic Abnormalities, Including Mental Retardation; Deafness; Color Blindness; Movement Disorders; Seizures; Hypoplasias of the Sella Turcica, Hypothalamus, Mamillary Bodies, or Cerebellum, or Some Combination of These; Abnormalities of the Anterior White Commissure; Microphthalmia;. © 1982, Massachusetts Medical Society.
