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. |
