Chapter 176 Turner’s Syndrome
INTRODUCTION
Description: Caused by the absence of one X chromosome, Turner’s syndrome is a collection of stigmata that includes edema of the hands and feet, webbing of the neck, short stature, left-sided heart or aortic anomalies, and gonadal dysgenesis resulting in primary amenorrhea and infertility. These patients have normal mental abilities but may have difficulty with mathematics, visual–motor coordination, and spatial–temporal processing.
