| ARTICLES RELATED TO micropenis | | | | | | |  micropenis: Encyclopedia II - Kallmann syndrome - EpidemiologyKallmann syndrome occurs at a rate of 1 in 10,000 male births and 1 in 50,000 female births. It may be inherited as an X-linked condition, an autosomal dominant condition or as an autosomal recessive condition. Statistics are sparse, but it seems that autosomal dominant is the most common form of heredity.
Even though mutations in the KAL gene on the X chromosome can cause Kallmann syndrome, only 11-14% of patients with Kallmann syndrome have detectable KAL mutations. Mutations in autosomal gene FGFR1 have been found in some ca ...

| | | | | | micropenis: Encyclopedia II - Cryptorchidism - Causes of cryptorchidism In most full-term infant boys with cryptorchidism but no other genital abnormalities, a cause cannot be found, making this a common, sporadic, unexplained birth defect.
Although severely premature infants can be born before descent of testes, there is a strong association of cryptorchidism with low birthweight due to either prematurity or intrauterine growth retardation. In these infants there is usually no evidence of ho ...

| | | | | micropenis: Encyclopedia II - Cryptorchidism - Diagnostic evaluation The most common diagnostic dilemma in otherwise normal boys is distinguishing a retractile testis from a testis that will not/cannot descend spontaneously into the scrotum. Retractile testes are more common than truly undescended testes and do not need to be operated on. In normal males, as the cremaster muscle relaxes or contracts, the testis moves lower or higher ("retracts") in the scrotum. This cremasteric reflex is much more active in infant boys than older men. A retractile testis high in the scrotum can be difficult to distinguish fro ...

| | | | | | | | | micropenis: Encyclopedia II - Growth hormone deficiency - Causes of GH deficiency There are many causes of GH deficiency. Some examples include:
mutations of specific genes (e.g., GHRHR, GH1)
congenital malformations involving the pituitary (e.g., septo-optic dysplasia, posterior pituitary ectopia)
damage to the pituitary from incracranial disease (e.g., hydrocephalus),
intracranial tumors in or near the sella turcica, especially craniopharyngioma,
damage to the pituitary from radiation therapy to the head for leukemia or brain tumors,
surgery in the area of the pi ...

| | | | | micropenis: Encyclopedia II - Cryptorchidism - Inheritance and recurrence risk of cryptorchidism A small percentage of cases of isolated cryptorchidism are familial. It has been reported that about 4% of fathers and 6-10% of brothers of affected boys have also had cryptorchidism. Few specific genes associated with isolated cryptorchidism have been identified.
In contrast, many of the genes causing some of the intersex conditions associated with androgen or AMH deficiency or insensitivity have been ident ...

| | | | | micropenis: Encyclopedia II - Growth hormone deficiency - History Perhaps the most famous person who exemplified the appearance of untreated congenital growth hormone deficiency was Charles Sherwood Stratton (1838-1883), who was exhibited by P.T. Barnum as General Tom Thumb, and married Lavinia Warren. Pictures of the couple appear to show the typical adult features of untreated severe growth hormone deficiency. Despite the severe shortness, limbs and trunk are proportional.
Like many other 19th century medical terms which lost precise meaning as they gained wider currency, “midget” as a term for someone with severe proportional shortness acquired pejorative con ...

| | | | | | micropenis: Encyclopedia II - Growth hormone deficiency - Adult GH deficiency Though growth ends with sexual maturity, GH continues to be secreted throughout life. In adults, GH contributes to maintenance of muscle and bone mass and strength. Understanding of the effects and benefits of GH in adults increased in the 1980's and the features of adult GH deficiency have not only been published, but can be said to have gained some notoriety.
Reported effects of severe GH deficiency in adults have included:
reduced muscle mass and strength
reduced bone mass and strength
reduced physica ...

| | | | | | micropenis: Encyclopedia II - Kallmann syndrome - Pathophysiology Under normal conditions, GnRH travels to the pituitary gland via the tuberoinfundibular pathway, where it triggers production of gonadotropins (LH and FSH). When GnRH is low, the pituitary does not create the normal amount of gonadotropins. The gonadotropins in turn affect the production of hormones in the gonads, so when they are low, these hormones will be low as well.
In Kallmann syndrome, the GnRH neurons do not migrate properly from the olfactory placode to the hypothalamus during development. The olfactory bulbs also fail to for ...

| | | | | micropenis: Encyclopedia II - History of intersex surgery - Triumph of infant surgery and nurture over nature By the 1960s, the young specialties of pediatric surgery and pediatric urology at children's hospitals were universally admired for bringing infant birth defect surgery to new levels of success and safety. These specialized surgeons began to repair wider varieties of birth defects at younger ages with better results. Earlier correction reduced the social "differentness" of a child with a cleft lip, or club foot, or skull malformation, or could save the life of an infant with spina bifida.
Genital corrective surgeries in infancy were j ...

| | | | | micropenis: Encyclopedia II - Penis - Linguistics
Penis - Etymology.
The word is derived from the Latin word for tail, also used to describe the organ, "penis". The Latin word "phallus" (from the Greek "phallos") is sometimes used to describe the penis, though the word originally was used to describe images, pictoral or carved, of the penis [1].
Some derive the Latin word penis from earlier *pesnis, and the Greek word peos = "penis" from earlier *pesos.
Penis - Synonyms.
