  • Title: Ocular manifestations of Turner's syndrome.
    Author: Adhikary HP.
    Journal: Trans Ophthalmol Soc U K (1962); 1981; 101 (Pt 4)():395-6. PubMed ID: 6964261.
    Abstract:
    In a series of 24 patients with Turner's syndrome, amblyopia was found to be present in ten (41.6 per cent), strabismus in nine (37.5 per cent), hypermetropia in ten (41.6 per cent), ptosis in seven (29.1 per cent), and bilateral epicanthus in eleven (45.8 per cent) cases. Turner (1938) described a syndrome of infantilism, congenital webbed neck, and cubitus valgus, which has come to be known as Turner's syndrome. Since then many cases have been reported and multiple other associated features have also been recognized. Isolated ocular features have been mentioned in some sporadic case reports (Cunningham and Harley, 1951; Laurent, Royer, and Noel, 1961; Lessell and Forbes, 1966; Khodadoust and Paton, 1967; Szymanska and Szymanski, 1976; Troupe and Troupe, 1981). So far no significant series of cases has been studied to assess the ocular defects. This report of a series of 24 patients presents classified ophthalmic features.
