β¦ Synopsis
Pure gonadal dysgenesis with 46,XX genotype is a rare abnormality with unknown etiology. Although sensorineural deafness has been described with 46,XX gonadal dysgenesis, the majority of reported cases of 46,XX gonadal dysgenesis have no associated physical abnormalities. We report a patient with 46,XX gonadal dysgenesis associated with epibulbar dermoids and preauricular skin tags, the classic ocular and skin manifestations of Goldenhar sequence (oculoauricular vertebral dysplasia). We propose that our patient may represent a new and previously unreported syndrome.

Gonadal (ovarian) dysgenesis in 46,XX individuals is genetically heterogeneous. We report on two sisters who, in addition to primary ovarian failure, have marked short stature and recurrent episodes of dehydration with metabolic acidosis. Studies performed during one of these episodes suggested mito
Gonadal (ovarian) dysgenesis with normal chromosomes (46,XX) clearly is a heterogeneous condition. In some forms, the defect is restricted to the gonads, whereas other affected females show neurosensory hearing loss (Perrault syndrome). In another form, brothers may have germ cell aplasia [Granat et
