Magnetic resonance imaging does not distinguish Kallmann syndrome from normosmic isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
MRI cannot exclusively differentiate between KS and nIHH, as both conditions may present with OB and OS abnormalities. A surprisingly high frequency of olfactory system abnormalities was observed in nIHH patients, while anterior pituitary hypoplasia was prevalent across all IHH patients. Notably, OB abnormalities were more predominant in KS patients than in those with nIHH.
