  • Title: Identification of Turner's syndrome in an elderly woman. Case report and review.
    Author: Tóth PP, Jogerst GJ.
    Journal: Arch Fam Med; 1996 Jan; 5(1):48-51. PubMed ID: 8542054.
    Abstract:
    Turner's syndrome is one of the most frequently occurring chromosomal defects and is associated with a well-characterized set of anatomic malformations. We studied clinical findings in an elderly woman who was diagnosed as having cytogenetically proved Turner's syndrome late in life. Because most patients with Turner's syndrome have normal intelligence and mild phenotypic abnormalities, the condition was never properly diagnosed in many affected women born earlier in this century. Given the range of clinical abnormalities and physiologic deficits to which these women are predisposed, it remains important to diagnose and treat them accurately irrespective of age.
