Discussion
22
Investigation History Auxological data Pubertal development examination
23
Mode of Inheritance 1 out of every 2,500 female births has Turner Syndrome. 45Xo
24
Turners syndrome XO
25
Symptoms Swollen hands and feet Wide and webbed neck Absent or incomplete development at puberty, including sparse pubic hair and small breasts Broad, flat chest shaped like a shield Drooping eyelids Short height Vaginal dryness Low-set ears. Low hairline at back of neck
26
Additional Health Problems * Heart Problems. * Kidney problems.
27
Symptoms
28
Height in Adolescence Growth failure becomes obvious in adolescence, due to the absence of a pubertal growth spurt
30
Final Height in TS is affected by parental Height Ethnicity untreated adults with TS are approximately 20cm shorter than expected from mid-parental target height The mean final height is 142.9 cm
31
Health problems in Turner syndrome Normal US 85% Dilatation of the Urinary collecting system 10 % Duplication of the urinary collecting system5% Hypothyroid 25% Hashimoto thyroiditis Journal of Research in Medical Sciences 2007; Vol 12, No 2
32
Health problems in Turner syndrome CS H 27.5% Sensorineural hearing loss 32.5% Normal hearing 37.5% Otitis media 40% Journal of Research in Medical Sciences 2007; Vol 12, No 2
33
Health problems in Turner syndrome Cardiac abnormalities 62.5% Multiple anomalies. 32% Most common anomaly was mitral valve prolapse HTN 20% Repeated at 5 yr intervals to assess Journal of Research in Medical Sciences 2007; Vol 12, No 2
34
Health problems in Turner syndrome Hypercholesterolemia 30% Hypertriglyceridemia. 32.5% LDL-C>95th 15% HDL-C <5 th 7.5%. No case of abnormal blood glucose was found Journal of Research in Medical Sciences 2007; Vol 12, No 2
35
Every 3-5 years Celiac s disease Audiogram Cardiac evaluation BMD
36
Yearly evaluation Height, weight, BP Creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, LFT TFT Lipid profile FBS Hemoglobin A1c
37
GH Treatment Should be initiated the height falls which occurs between two and five years of age FDA approved for use in TS in late 1996 0.375 mg/kg/wk
38
Estrogen replacement therapy started at age 12-15 years After 6 months progestin can be added
39
Treatment Conjugated estrogen 0.15 mg/d or 0.3 mg on alternate day Ethinylestradiol 0.05 – 0.1 ug/kg/d, 2.5 – 5 ug/d Adult woman: conjugated E 0.6 – 1.25 mg ethinylestradiol 10 -20 ug
40
When spotting occurs or 6 months of treatment with 0.6 mg conjugated E or 10 ug ethinylestradiol cyclic progesterone should be added 5 – 10 mg 12 – 14 days every month
