BACKGROUND
Bardet-Biedl syndrome is a rare disorder and associated with a variety of anomalies.
CASE
An 18-year-old woman was referred with primary amenorrhea. Following physical, ophthalmologic, psychiatric, hormonal and radiologic examinations, the diagnosis of both craniopharyngioma and Bardet-Biedl syndrome was established.
CONCLUSION
Although the pathogenesis of hypogonadism in a woman with Bardet-Biedl syndrome remains unclear, cranial structures, especially the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, should be investigated to reveal any possible abnormalities.
