Thorough clinical and roentgenological examinations of the skull were conducted in 83 infertile patients with hyperandrogenism. The parameters of their health status evidenced various degrees of androgenism. The roentgenological picture of their skull and Turkish saddle was significantly different from the normal one. A small and round-shaped pattern of the Turkish saddle was significantly more often documented in the hyperandrogenic females whose infertility treatment was a failure. These prognostic criteria should be considered when the practicability of the treatment for this pattern of infertility is discussed.
