Spontaneous procreation in Turner syndrome (TS) is a rare condition, and repeated gestation is even rarer. We report two spontaneous and successful pregnancies (at the age of 25 and 28 y) in a patient with TS (karyotype: 45,X/47,XXX, in 30 metaphases). Births were by caesarean section due to fetal-pelvic disproportion. Both children, a boy and a girl, were born at full term, with normal physical exam and karyotype. Despite the elevated pregnancy risks associated with TS co-morbidities, this report presents two successful spontaneous pregnancies with normal children in a patient with TS diagnosis after her deliveries. Gynecologists and obstetricians should be aware of this possibility when evaluating women with unusual short stature or dysmorphic features in order to implement a more cautious prenatal care in those being diagnosed with TS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
