Overview
Patients with delayed puberty usually appear normal, not ill or toxic. Physical examination of patients with delayed puberty is usually remarkable for delayed growth spurt along with small testicular size (less than 4 mL or 2.5 cm) in more than 14 years old boys and thelarche stage 0-1 in more than 13 years old girls. Testicular size is identified by length of the longest axis or by its volume using the Prader orchidometer. Thelarche stage is determined by use of Tanner staging system. The lack of pubic or axillary hairs and also primary amenorrhea on physical examination is highly suggestive of delayed puberty.
Physical Examination
- Physical examination of patients with delayed puberty is usually remarkable for small testicular size (less than 4 mL or 2.5 cm) in more than 14 years old boys and thelarche stage 0-1 in more than 13 years old girls.[1]
- Testicular size is identified by length of the longest axis or by its volume using the Prader orchidometer.
- Thelarche stage is determined by use of Tanner staging system.
- The lack of pubic or axillary hairs and also primary amenorrhea on physical examination is highly suggestive of delayed puberty.
Appearance of the Patient
- Patients with delayed puberty usually appear normal, not ill or toxic.
- Patients appear to be younger than their chronological age, due to lack of adult type sexual characteristics.
- They may be on mild depressed mood, because of their problems.[2]
- The proportion of upper to lower body parts is more than normal, most of the times.
Vital Signs
- Usually within the normal limits
HEENT
- Anosmia/Hyposmia may be seen in Kallmann syndrome.
- Nystagmus and visual impairment may be seen in septo-optic dysplasia.
- Hearing acuity loss, choanal atresia, and coloboma may be seen in CHARGE syndrome.[3]
- Prominent posterior rotated ears may be seen in Turner's syndrome.
Neck
- Webbed neck may be seen in Turner's syndrome.
Breast
- No breast development (thelarche) in more than 13 years old girls.
- Gynecomastia in Klinefelter's syndrome.[4]
Heart
- Tetralogy of Fallot may be seen in CHARGE syndrome.[3]
- Bicuspid aortic valve or aortic dilation may be seen in Turner's syndrome.[5]
Abdomen
- Abdominal obesity may be seen in Prader-Willi syndrome.[6]
Genitourinary
- Testicular volume less than 4 mL or testicular longitudinal length less than 2.5 cm in more than 14 years old boys.
- Atrophied testes may be seen in Klinefelter's syndrome.[4]
- Lack of pubic hair and any other secondary sexual characteristics
Neuromuscular
- Hypotonia may be seen in Prader-Willi syndrome.[6]
Extremities
- Bigger upper to lower body proportion ratio may be seen.
