All of the following are causes of primary amenorrhea, EXCEPT:
Sheehan's syndrome, characterized by postpaum amenorrhea, results from postpaum pituitary necrosis secondary to severe hemorrhage and hypotension and is a rare cause of secondary amenorrhea. Mullerian agenesis (Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome) is the second most common cause of primary amenorrhea. Kallmann syndrome results from defective hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) synthesis and is associated with anosmia or hyposmia due to olfactory bulb agenesis or hypoplasia. It is a cause of primary amenorrhea. Patients with Turner's syndrome usually present with primary amenorrhea.
