Abstract
|
|
|
Recently it is known that Turner's syndrome is frequently associated with hypothyroidism. We report a case of Turner's syndrome associated with subclinical hypothyroidism.
A 23-year-old female was admitted to the hospital with complaints of amenorrhea and short stature. She had a mosaicism of 45, X0/46, Xi(Xq) in the cell, cultured from the peripheral blood. The plasma thyroxine and triiodothyronine were normal and
there
was no clinical symptom of hypothyroidism. But the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration was unusually higher (184 uU/L).
She has been treated with the cyclic therapy of conjugated estrogen and medroxyprogesterone, in addition to the thyroxine replacement therapy. After 2 months, the menstruation was restored and TSH was normalized (J Kor Soc Endocrinol 9: 35~38,
1994).
