Abstract:

Turner syndrome, resulting from the partial or complete loss of an X chromosome, is characterized by short stature, delayed puberty and primary amenorrhea. Before puberty, infertility is caused by the development of premature ovarian failure in these patients. Although successful pregnancies have been with the help of assisted reproduction, women with this syndrome have lethal complications related to the pregnancy. Turner syndrome is a relative contraindication for pregnancy however; it is an absolute contraindication for pregnancy in a patient with a documented heart anomaly. In this article, 31-year-old pregnant patient with Turner syndrome who had undergone successful termination of pregnancy is presented.
