Turner Syndrome, which only affects girls, is a common chromosomal disorder with an incidence of 1/10000 live birth or 1/2500 live female birth. Typical symptoms of the syndrome are short stature, webbed neck, low hairline, shield of the breast, discrete nipples, lymphedema in hands and feet, cardiovascular disorders, kidney abnormalities, gonadal dysgenesis, and low level of social intelligence. In this report, we presented a case of female newborn whose phenotypic and caryotypic findings were consistent with Turner Syndrome. She underwent an operation for aortic coarctation and developed blister and ulceration in the right foot related to lymphedema. The patient was discharged in good health by multidisciplinary care and follow-up.

Turner Sendromu insidansı 1/10.000 canlı doğum veya 1/2500 canlı kız bebek doğumu olan, sadece kızları etkileyen sık görülen bir cinsiyet kromozom anomalisidir. Sendromun tipik bulguları kısa boy, yele boyun, düşük saç çizgisi, kalkan göğüs, ayrık meme başları, el ve ayaklarda lenfödem, kardiyovasküler bozukluklar, böbrek anomalileri, gonadal disgenezi ve düşük sosyal zekadır. Bu yazıda fenotipik ve karyotipik özellikleriyle Turner Sendromu ile uyumlu olan, aort koarktasyonu nedeniyle opere edilen, sağ ayakta lenfödem ilişkili bül ve ülserasyon gelişen, multidisipliner bakım ve izlem sayesinde sağlıklı olarak taburcu edilen bir yenidoğan olgu sunuldu.
