    Author: Baek JU, Park HK, Shim EJ, Hwang IT.
    Journal: J Pediatr Adolesc Gynecol; 2012 Oct; 25(5):e113-4. PubMed ID: 22841375.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Turner syndrome is due to the absence of all or significant parts of one of the sex chromosomes in females. Turner syndrome is a common cause of ovarian failure, and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism occurs in virtually all affected individuals. One case of a variant Turner syndrome with precocious puberty is presented. CASE: An eight-year-old girl was referred with complaints of short stature and breast budding. A physical examination revealed a Tanner stage III for breast development and her bone age was 11 years. Chromosome analysis showed a karyotype of 46,X,del(x)(p11.2). SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: To preserve growth potential, careful examinations are recommended for pediatric patients with an unusual growth pattern.
