Causes of delayed puberty

Causes of delayed puberty
Primary hypogonadism – High FSH and LH
Congenital
Chromosomal abnormalities (Turner syndrome – 45,XO; Klinefelter syndrome – 47,XXY)
Anorchia (vanishing testis)
Acquired
Autoimmune or postinfectious
Following trauma or surgery
Chemotherapy, radiation therapy
Secondary hypogonadism – Low to normal FSH and LH
Acquired
Tumors
Benign tumors and cysts
Craniopharyngiomas
Germinomas, meningiomas, gliomas, astrocytomas
"Functional" gonadotropin deficiency
Constitutional delay of growth and puberty
Chronic systemic disease
Acute illness
Malnutrition
Hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, diabetes mellitus, Cushing's disease
Anorexia nervosa, bulimia
Infiltrative diseases
Hemochromatosis
Granulomatous diseases
Histiocytosis
Head trauma
Pituitary apoplexy
Drugs – Marijuana
Congenital
Isolated GnRH deficiency (also known as idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism)
Without anosmia
With anosmia (Kallmann syndrome)
Associated with adrenal hypoplasia congenita
GnRH deficiency associated with intellectual disability/obesity
Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome
Prader-Willi syndrome
Idiopathic forms of multiple anterior pituitary hormone deficiencies
Congenital brain malformations causing GnRH or gonadotropin deficiencies (often associated with craniofacial anomalies)
FSH: follicle-stimulating hormone; LH: luteinizing hormone; GnRH: gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
