Abstract

Gordon Holmes Syndrome is a rare inherited disease characterized by both neurological and reproductive signs and symptoms. Most patients develop neurologic challenges in early adulthood and cerebellar ataxia occurs as the disease progresses. In the majority of patients, hypogonadism is hypogona dotropic but rarely hypergonadotropic. We report a case of a 26-year-old fe male in Nigeria, with hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and cerebellar atro phy from a non-consanguineous marriage and no family history.
