I don't think that they do routine echo for Turner pt's unless they have evident symptoms of that. Lets say a decrease of lower extremities pulse at least

oh yes - ur right - coarctation of aorta - not endocardial cushion defects

infertile - yes - they have only 1 X

but do u know there are turners females in this world who have become pregnant - X mosaicism

some of their cells are XX some are XO

As far as I know infertility is seen in 100% cases. Mosaisism is a good optopn for Turner patient, but it will help only in the degree of manifistation of other symptoms

i didn't say routein echo
i said - if there are +ve physical findings - then echo

[ArchivalUser]

still I don't remember that echo shows coarctaion (especially postductal), may be transesophageal.. But it is imposible in infant. May be contrast study????

[ArchivalUser]

Coarcation...the best study is MRI of the chest.

bpei

sigh!
i was expecting a cardiac defect that is why i said echo
for coarctation - best is MRI or CT with contrast or a TE-ECHO
