In addition to the symptoms already mentioned, patients with the condition will also sometimes experience other developmental problems. The condition will sometimes affect the patient’s organs including the eyes, the ears, the heart, the kidneys, and the brain. A cleft palate will also occur in some cases.

These additional problems can cause issues like sight and hearing impairment. Intellectual disabilities will also be present in some cases, and some people with Kallmann syndrome will also have a problem with obesity. Many patients with the condition will experience few, if any, of these problems and will go on to live a ‘normal’ life.
