Selected medical and psychosocial problems in 218 Turner syndrome patients diagnosed at the Leuven Centre for Human Genetics are reported here. Special attention is paid to the associated congenital malformations, the mental performance and the occurrence of psychosocial and/or characterological difficulties. Mental underdevelopment was documented in 50 patients (22.9 per cent) and psychosocial and/or characterological problems in a total of 44 patients (20.2 per cent). This study confirms that in patients with Turner syndrome diagnosis special attention should be drawn to the mental development and psychosocial problems.
