37. Pseudotumour cerebri and the Turner syndrome.
One of 170 patients with karyotype-proven Turner syndrome from our institution has had pseudotumour cerebri. This patient and one previous report suggest that patients with Turner syndrome may be predisposed to increased intracranial pressure. Fourteen patients with pseudotumour cerebri were ascertained from hospital records; karyotypes of four were obtained

38. Triple X female and Turner's syndrome offspring.
A mentally retarded young female having 47 chromosomes with a triple X karotype produced a child with Turner's syndrome associated with mental defeciency. To our knowledge this is the first example of a triple X female giving birth to a child with Turner's syndrome.

39. Immunological parameters in girls with Turner syndrome
Disturbances in the immune system has been described in Turner syndrome, with an association to low levels of IgG and IgM and decreased levels of T- and B-lymphocytes. Also different autoimmune diseases have been connected to Turner syndrome (45, X), thyroiditis being the most common.

40. Chronic lymphangiectasis in Turner's syndrome.
A 3 1/2-year-old female presented with Turner's syndrome and Nonne-Milroy-Meige disease. Ocular findings included strabismus and bilateral chemosis which was unchanging and persisted throughout the four years the patient was followed up. Histopathological findings included diffuse lymphangiectasia and dense connective tissue surrounding the dilated lymph cha

41. Down-Turner syndrome: case report and review.
We present a male patient with Down-Turner mosaicism (45,X/46,X,+21/47,XY,+21) and review 27 similar cases reported so far. Clinical features of Down's syndrome were present in all cases, whereas a combination of features of both Ullrich-Turner syndrome and Down's syndrome was reported in 61% of the patients. However, one has to bear in mind that several sti

42. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome and 45X karyotype.
A review of 63 patients with 45X karyotype (Turner's syndrome) admitted to a hospital from 1972 to 1985 showed that 20 (32%) had one or more major cardiac malformations (mostly coarctation and aortic stenosis). Four (20%) died in the neonatal. One infant had mitral stenosis and severe aortic stenosis and died at the age of 35 days. The three (15%) other pati

43. 45,X Turner's syndrome in monozygotic twin sisters.
A 7-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital for anaemia, secondary to intestinal blood los (melaena). She was found to have 45,X Turner's syndrome. Her identical twin sister also had Turner's syndrome with a 45,X chromosome complement. According to various criteria the probability of monozygosity was 0.9905. Although the incidence of twinning is greater t

44. Dissection of the aorta in Turner's syndrome.
Three deaths from dissection of the aorta in a series of 157 adult women with Turner's syndrome are reported. These are greatly in excess of the numbers expected. None of the three patients had a coarctation of the aorta. One had aortic regurgitation but there was no reason to believe that the aorta in the other two patients had been subjected to unusual hae

45. Partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage in two patients with Turner's syndrome.
We report two cases of partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage in a series of 135 patients with Turner's syndrome.

46. Coarctation Repair in Children With Turner's Syndrome
Ravelo recently reported the results of surgical repair of coarctation of the aorta in eight patients with Turner's syndrome.* Three of these patients had serious hemorrhagic complications. At Texas Children's Hospital, we have operated on four patients with Turner's syndrome and coarctation of the aorta without complications. Of the 12 patients in both seri

47. A case of Turner's syndrome with familial balanced translocation t(1;2)(q32;q21)mat.
The first case of Turner's syndrome with the familial translocation not involving the X chromosome is described. The patient had a number of clinical signs of Turner's syndrome and her karyotype was 45,X,t(1;2)(q32;q2)mat. Though it is speculated that the altered structure of a chromosome may influence meiotic disjunction of a non-homologous chromosome, our

48. Cardiovascular malformations in Turner's and Noonan's syndrome.
The cardiovascular findings in 9 patients with Turner's syndrome and 9 patients with Noonan's syndrome are described. Of the 9 patients with Turner's syndrome, 4 had coarctation of the aorta, 4 aorta stenosis, and the remaining patient both these lesions. All patients with Noonan's syndrome had pulmonary valve stenosis. In addition, 2 children had an atrial
