Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging in Turner syndrome.

Background: Adolescents with Turner Syndrome (TS) live a difficulty related to the prospective to have spontaneous pubertal development and menarche as well as to their future fertility. These questions have relevant psychological-therapeutic implications on clinical and endocrine follow-up and represent critical points in the TS management. Some patients have spontaneous menarche and do not need estroprogestinic replacement in the first years of adolescence. This evolution is not always predictable on the basis of hormonal pattern and echographic imaging, while it is described in patients with mosaicism. Methods: We studied 17 patients with TS, age: 9-16 years, caryotype 45,X in 9 patients…
