Abstract
Although POI in adolescents traditionally is associated with primary amenorrhea and delayed puberty, a proportion of girls will present with irregular bleeding that might be mistaken for expected menstrual disturbances of puberty, thus delaying the diagnosis. We identified a clear cause for POI in 6 cases. Although there were no familial cases of POI, it remains a possibility that genetic reasons might be involved in the pathogenesis.
