Its prevalence ranges from 1% to 3.7%, with 1 in 10,000 cases in women under 20 years. In 70-90% of cases the etiology is unknown. Known causes include Turner syndrome, fragile X syndrome, autoimmunity, infections and iatrogenic.

We present a case of POI manifesting as primary amenorrhea, with the aim of emphasizing the need of early identification and treatment.</div></div><div><h3>Case</h3><div>A 16-year-old girl with no prior medical history presented with primary amenorrhea. Her physical exam showed a height of 172 cm, 10 cm above her target height. She had Tanner stage 2 in breasts and pubic hair, anatomically normal female external genitalia and hypoestrogenized mucous membranes. Lab tests showed FSH levels of 69 mIU/ml and undetectable anti-Müllerian hormone. The gynecological ultrasound indicated uterine length of 52 mm and ovarian volumes of less than 1cc. POI was suspected and confirmed with a second elevated FSH level. Investigations into possible etiologies were carried out, revealing a 46 XX karyotype, negative fragile X premutation studies, normal thyroid function and negative thyroid antibodies. A genetic evaluation was requested, which included testing for 53 genes in Disorders of Sexual Development Panels, all of which were negative. Additionally, to rule out the diagnosis of Triple X syndrome, which can cause tall stature and POI, an extended karyotype with 50 metaphases was requested, and the result is pending. Due to prolonged hypoestrogenism, a bone densitometry was performed, with normal results. The patient began low-dose transdermal estradiol, gradually increasing to 2 mg over two years, after which she had her first menstrual bleed. Monthly cyclic micronized progesterone was added. During treatment, she progressed to Tanner stage 5 for breast and pubic hair development, and her final height was 175 cm.
