Dear Sir,rnI am Neoklis A. Georgopoulos, from Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Division of Reproductive Endocrinology, University of Patras Medical School,Greece. We present an early prepubertal diagnosis of Kallmann syndrome (KS) in a child with anosmia, renal agenesis and mirror movements. KS is a congenital defect characterized by the presence of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia or hyposmia [1].Besides hypogonadism and anosmia, the clinical phenotype is characterized by the presence of other associated features, including, among others, mirror movements (synkinesis), cleft palate and renal agenesis/dysgenesis.
