A Case Report of Turners Syndrome
Abstract
Turners syndrome is a type of gonadal dysgenesis described first by H.h.Turner, which is due to abnormality or absence of one of the X chromosomes. A patient of 15 years presented to our hospital with complaints of delayed onset of menstruation and diagnostic workup {usg abdomen, mri, genetic study} revealed Turners syndrome. The gonadal dysgenesis can either be a monosomy {45X0} or mosaic{45X 46XX,45X 46XY}.
