Abstract
This study examined an association between cerebral palsy and cryptorchism. Twenty-one (53.8%) in a group of 39 severely disabled males exhibited cryptorchism to a varying degree. A striking feature was the high proportion with an impalpable testis on one (15.4%) or both (7.7%) sides. Early damage to the fetal hypothalamo-pituitary axis is suggested as the likely causative factor.Entities:
