Introduction: Premature ovarian failure
(PID) is clinically suspected in the presence of
amenorrhea and confirmed biologically in a woman
under 40 years of age by an FSH rate> 40 mIU / L
twice. Its prevalence is estimated at 1 to 2% in women
under 40. We report the cases of 03 patients, the first
aged 25 years old, who presented with amenorrhea aged
02 years with a high FSH level on several occasions and a
translocation of the somatic chromosomes 16 and 18
karyotype. And the second 30-year-old unmarried
woman who presented with 14-month-old amenorrhea
with repeatedly elevated FSH and a normal karyotype.
And the third 34-year-old married mother of 02 children
who presented with amenorrhea of 18 months with a
level of FSH raised several times and a normal
karyotype. Discussion: Physiological menopause
secondary to depletion of follicular capital occurs on
average at the age of 51 in Western countries. In 1 to 2%
of women, blockage of follicular maturation or follicular
depletion occurs before the age of 40, defining premature
ovarian failure (POI). A basic assessment before an IOP
includes: clinical examination; a karyotype; fragile X
pre-mutation research; an autoimmune assessment with
TSH, blood sugar, anti-TPO and anti-adrenal antibody
assay, cortisol assay. In 90% of cases, no aetiology is
found, and in many cases, the PID is isolated, it does not
integrate into a syndrome and there are no associated
signs. The management of patients with POI includes
three essential areas: hormone replacement therapy,
management of a possible desire to become pregnant and
psychological care. A new technique of follicular
activation makes it possible to consider the possibility of
finally exploiting the reserve of dormant follicles to
restore fertility in patients who must currently move
towards egg donation Conclusion: Premature ovarian
failure is a rare pathology. The therapeutic management
of patients with IOP is essential to limit the harmful
effects of estrogen deficiency. Less than 15% of the
aetiologies of PID are elucidated.
