  • Title: Experience in management of diminished growth in adolescent Turner's syndrome patients.
    Author: Tuschy U.
    Journal: Padiatr Grenzgeb; 1992; 31(2):123-30. PubMed ID: 1305284.
    Abstract:
    The aim in the management of patients with Turner's syndrome, besides substitution of sexual steroids, is the attempt to improve their final height. The data allow therapeutic recommendations, which, however, realize only the first intention. The final height, indeed, cannot be improved by traditional methods. Further two alternatives remain to be tested: long time low dose estrogen therapy, and high dosed HGH application.
