| Abstract (English): |
A 23-year-old male consulted for a subacuteonset left hip pain, being evident on radiographs a slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) while the contralateral proximal femur physis was still slightly open. Urgent percutaneous in-situ fixation with two cannulated screws was performed. Further investigations due to the atypical features of the case revealed that the patient had anosmia, which allowed for Kallmann syndrome (KS) diagnosis, being responsible for the delayed skeletal maturity of the patient. Very few cases of a delayed-onset SCFE in association with KS have been described in the literature but must be considered in the differential diagnosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
Paciente masculino de 23 años que consultó por dolor de cadera izquierda de inicio subagudo, evidenciándose en las radiografías una epifisiólisis femoral capital deslizada (SCFE, por sus siglas en inglés), mientras que la fisis del fémur proximal contralateral aún estaba ligeramente abierta. Se realizó fijación percutánea urgente in situ con dos tornillos canulados. Investigaciones adicionales debido a las características atípicas del caso revelaron que el paciente presentaba anosmia, lo que permitió el diagnóstico de síndrome de Kallmann (SK), siendo responsable de la madurez esquelética retrasada en este paciente. En la literatura se han descrito muy pocos casos de SCFE de inicio tardío en asociación con síndrome de Kallmann, pero deben ser considerados en el diagnóstico diferencial. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
