The oral-motor function of 10 infants with Turner syndrome and their age- and sex-matched controls were assessed during feeding. In addition to well-recognised dysmorphic features, including oral anomalies and high-arched palates, index infants had marked hypotonia of the cheeks and lips, dysfunctional tongue movements and poorly developed chewing skills. Their meal-times were significantly shorter than those of the controls and they weighed significantly less at six, 12 and 15 months. All mothers of infants with Turner syndrome complained of difficulties feeding their children and these problems often had been present since birth.
对10名患有特纳综合征的婴儿及其年龄和性别匹配的对照组婴儿在进食期间的口腔运动功能进行了评估。除了公认的畸形特征，包括口腔异常和高拱腭外，指标婴儿还存在脸颊和嘴唇明显的肌张力减退、舌头运动功能障碍以及咀嚼技能发育不良。他们的用餐时间明显短于对照组，在6个月、12个月和15个月时体重明显较轻。所有患有特纳综合征婴儿的母亲都抱怨喂养孩子有困难，而且这些问题通常从出生就存在。
