AB  - A  6-year-old  girl  is  brought  to  the  pediatrician  because  of  swelling  in  her  lower  legs  that  was  noted  by  her  mother  over  the  past  few  weeks.  The  child  has  otherwise  been  well.  Review  of  the  growth  parameters  showed  the  girl  to  be  at  less  than  the  5th  percentile  for  height.  The  girl  exhibited  edema  of  the  lower  extremities  (right  >  left),  low  set  ears,  ptosis,  and  mild  micrognathia  (Figures  222-1  and  222-2).  The  pediatrician  suspected  Turner  syndrome  and  referred  the  child  to  a  pediatric  endocrinologist,  who  confirmed  the  diagnosis  with  a  karyotype  (45,  XO  pattern).  The  child  and  family  received  counseling  and  education,  and  the  girl  was  treated  with  growth  hormones  and  has  done  well.  Screening  tests  for  renal  and  cardiac  abnormalities  were  normal.
