[Turner syndrome in the hôpital du Mali, a case].

Turner syndrome is a chromosomal aberration linked to the complete or partial absence of an X chromosome. Its prevalence is 1/2500 female newborns. We report a case in the department of internal medicine and endocrinology of the hospital of MALI. This was a 14-year old girl who consulted for stunting and puberty. She presented clinically a dysmorphic syndrome, TANNER stage1 secondary sexual characteristics, weight and height at -3 DS and a bone age estimated to 9½ years old on the X-ray of the hand. The hormonal assessment showed an elevation of FSH and LH and the genetic study showed an iso chromosome Xq. This result was part of a Turner syndrome with Xq iso chromosome.
