Kallmann syndrome is a low-frequency pathology that mainly affects men. This case report aims to present the management of a pediatric patient diagnosed with Kallmann syndrome in Mexico. An 11-year-old male patient presented with a micropenis, cryptorchidism, possible testicular atrophy, anosmia, and absence of olfactory bulbs and nerves detected by magnetic resonance imaging. Our patient started therapy with human chorionic gonadotropin hormone and later with testosterone, presenting a favorable response. We concluded that early intervention based on hormonal therapy allows reestablishing the phenotypic characteristics of chronological age.
