Sugha Varuna, Bharti Sapna

Open full text 1 citations

Abstract

Turner syndrome has an incidence of 1 in 2500 female births. Clinical signs such as short stature, lymphoedema and delayed puberty, are common reasons for screening for Turner syndrome. We present a 10-year-old female with short stature. The diagnosis was confirmed by the patient’s karyotype (45, XO). Physicians must be able to suspect Turner syndrome in order to make an early diagnosis, refer, and manage affected children for optimal growth and development. Keywords: Turner syndrome, short stature, Growth hormone
