congenital lymphedema
A 14-year-old female presents to the office for a well-child exam. She states that she has not yet had her first period. Vitals reveal a blood pressure of 149/95 mmHg in the right arm and 110/65 mmHg in the left arm, a heart rate of 70/min, a respiratory rate of 14/min, and a temperature of 37°C (98.6°F). Her weight is 45.4 kg (100 lb) and her height is 1.35 m (4’5”). Physical examination reveals a shortened fourth metacarpal bone and an III/VI systolic murmur.

Q
what is the most common cause of congenital primary hypogonadism
A
klinefelters syndrome (46 XXY)
This is the karyotype of a patient with Klinefelter’s syndrome. This is the most common cause of congenital primary hypogonadism (1/1000 births). Phenotypically male, affected patients have a tall stature, long arms and legs, mild mental retardation, and often cryptorchidism.

## Footnote
Aspirin is an irreversible inhibitor of cyclooxygenase that reduces thromboxane and platelet aggregation. An overdose of aspirin activates the medulla's respiratory center, increasing the rate of breathing and alkalosis, due to a loss of bicarbonate. Later, there is an uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation leading to a loss of fluid and metabolic acidosis. This is managed by ionizing the urine with sodium bicarbonate. In addition, the patient would present with ringing of the ears with a salicylate toxicity and this patient is not experiencing this effect.
