Kallmann syndrome is a neuronal migration disorder characterised by
hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism and anosmi or hyposmia.It is generally accepted that
defective rhinocephalon development result in olfactory tract abnormalities. We used
magnetic resonance imaging to visualize the olfactory tract and evaluate the olfactory sulci in patient whose clinical and laboratory findings were compatible with Kallmann syndrome. Coronal images of the frontal region clearly demonstrated aplasia of the bilateral olfactory sulci and absence of the olfactory tracts in patient.

Kallmann sendromu, hipogonadotropik hipogonadizm ve anosmi veya hiposmi ile
karakterize nöronal migrasyon bozukluðudur. Defektif rinosefalon geliþiminin olfaktor
trakt anomalilerine neden olduðu genel olarak kabul edilen görüþtür. Biz, klinik ve
laboratuar bulgularý Kallmann sendromu ile uyumlu olan hastada olfaktor traktý
ve olfaktor sulkusu magnetik rezonans görüntüleme ile deðerlendirdik. Koronal
görüntülerde frontal bölgede olfaktor trakt yokluðu ve bilateral olfaktor sulkus aplazisi
tanýmlandý.
