Swyer syndrome, represents a rare manifestation of primary amenorrhea arising from gonadal dysgenesis. This syndrome is distinguished by the manifestation of a female phenotype despite a 46, XY karyotype. We present the case of a patient aged 32 the second of three sisters; consulted for the first time with a main complaint of primary unexplored amenorrhea responsible for infertility of 1 year with a female phenotype and a male karyotype: 46XY. The laparoscopy performed revealed the presence of a small uterus (an unexpected finding for a feminizing testicular syndrome). The other sisters were respectively examined and found to have the same pathology as their sister and were eventually programmed to have a laparoscopy. 46XY pure gonadal dysgenesis, commonly known as Swyer syndrome, presents as a rare disorder in sexual development. Despite having a 46XY karyotype, affected individuals exhibit a female phenotype. The underlying cause is believed to stem from mutations and deletions affecting the Sex Determining Region Y (SRY) gene located on the short arm of the Y chromosome. Swyer syndrome should be considered in cases of primary amenorrhea with the presence of a uterus. Chromosomal analysis is essential for confirming the diagnosis.

The 46, XY DSD group is vast and includes various conditions caused by genetic variants, hormonal imbalances, or abnormal sensitivity to testicular hormones, leading to varying degrees of under-virilization. A 19-year-old phenotypically normal female from Kakamega, Kenya, presented with primary amenorrhea.

Background: Non-clinical voice-hearers (NCVHs) have been the subject of a growing body of psychological research, a primary aim of which is the development of new therapeutic techniques to support those who struggle with voice-hearing. However, relatively little research has examined non-clinical voice-hearing experiences beyond their relationship with clinical voice-hearing.
Methods: The present study consists of a qualitative re-analysis of 17 semi-structured interviews conducted as part of an NCVH neuroimaging study which included items from the Psychotic Symptoms Rating Scale (PSYRATS) and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS).

Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome (SJMS) also known as hyperlucent lung syndrome is a condition that occurs as a complication of infectious bronchiolitis obliterans. It is characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of the affected area of the lung resulting in ventilation and perfusion mismatch ultimately leading to underdevelopment of the affected lung. A key feature used for diagnosis is unilateral small lung with hyperlucency on a chest radiograph.
