Turner's syndrome, discoid meniscus, and Blount's disease have all been studied in isolation, but, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no studies reporting a patient with all three. Thus, the first case of Turner's syndrome with discoid meniscus and Blount's disease is presented.
A 5-year-old Japanese girl with a history of Turner's syndrome and Blount's disease complained of pain in her left knee. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a discoid lateral meniscus tear, and arthroscopic partial meniscectomy was performed, providing a good outcome.
In this report, some possible explanations regarding the concomitant presence of these three diseases are discussed. A possible explanation in this case is that the patient with Turner's syndrome had a discoid lateral meniscus that might have been induced by some genetic factors associated with Turner's syndrome, and then the discoid lateral meniscus might have been the mechanical stress that caused Blount's disease.
特纳综合征、盘状半月板和 Blount 病都已经分别进行了研究，但据我们所知，还没有研究报道同时患有这三种疾病的患者。因此，我们报告首例特纳综合征合并盘状半月板和 Blount 病的病例。
一名 5 岁日本女孩，患有特纳综合征和 Blount 病，诉左膝疼痛。磁共振成像显示外侧盘状半月板撕裂，行关节镜下部分半月板切除术，取得良好效果。
在本报告中，我们讨论了同时存在这三种疾病的一些可能的解释。在这种情况下，一种可能的解释是，特纳综合征患者存在外侧盘状半月板，这可能是由特纳综合征相关的某些遗传因素引起的，而外侧盘状半月板可能是导致 Blount 病的机械应力。
