[Turner syndrome].

Turner Syndrome is characterized by sexual infantilism, webbed neck, short stature, peripheral edema, lymphedema, renal and cardiovascular anomalies, gonadal dysplasia, some learning disability etc. (1-4). The condition is defined as the combination of the characteristic phenotypic features accompanied by complete or partial absence of the second X chromosome with or without mosaicism. This is most common monosomies in live born humans. The frequency at birth is 1/4000 to 1/8000 live births, but it occurs much more frequently in spontaneous abortions (1-4). We present here a female child who classical features of Turner Syndrome.
