ABSTRACT
It is known that hyperprolactinemia can cause menstrual irregularities in adult females, but in adolescence, it is a rare cause of delayed or arrested puberty and growth disturbance. We are reporting a case of a 20-year-old girl with hyperprolactinemia with primary amenorrhea who had a normal development of secondary sexual characters except menarche. Her serum prolactin level was extremely high, but the other hormones examined were almost within the normal range and imaging studies showed pituitary macroadenoma. Hyperprolactinemia induced functional hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism with poor estrogen secretion results in primary amenorrhea, but with normal breast development. Prolactinoma in adolescence may also be easily and effectively managed by medical therapy. All clinicians who see patients with arrested puberty and/or primary amenorrhea should therefore be aware of the possibility of this diagnosis.
Key-words: Hyperprolactinemia, Pituitary microadenoma, Amenorrhoea.
