Bilateral Renal Agenesis and Aortic Stenosis In An Antenatally Diagnosed Turner Syndrome
Abstract
Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder caused
by loss or structural disorders of X chromosome.
A significant number of cases result with abortion.
Clinical symptoms are not always apparent in the
newborn period. Therefore it could be diagnosed in
later years of life. Turner syndrome should be considered
in patients with lymphedema on hands and
feets, low hairline, short and webbed neck. Cardiovascular,
genitourinary, endocrine system disorders
could be accompanied. Here we present an antenatally
diagnosed Turner syndrome with bilateral
renal agenesis, pulmonary hypoplasia and aortic
stenosis.
