Whenever you see any of the following think Turner syndrome:

• Short stature
• Primary amenorrhea
• Webbed, or wide neck
• Hormone dysgenesis
• No bar body
• Preductal coarcitation
• Streak ovaries
• Cystic hygroma

You are posting nice buzzwords
but let me say this

Current USMLE exams are getting away from buzzwords to complicate the matters

For example in the case of turner syndrome, they (in my exam) did not tell me streak ovaries but they described the pathological appearance using some difficult terms

Facts abt Turner syndrome(45,X)

I think this is wrong
I think it's Down's syndrome

 

[docspike]

i knew somebody would come up with this..Down's is the most common chromosomal abnormality seen at birth...45,X in Spontaneous abortions...i am sure on this..here's a reference..

Obstetrics and gynecology: PreTest Google Books http://j.mp/25Kb0f

Hope this will clear ur doubts..it gives another interesting fact too...Trisomy 16 is the most common trisomy seen in spontaneous abortions..

 

[Sabio]

docspike is correct

Autosomal trisomies are the most common chromosomal abnormalities observed in abortions But Collectively

Monosomy X is the most common single chromosomal abnormality seen in aborted fetuses

Check page 626 in Clinical Laboratory Medicine ed. 5
Here's a link

 

[docspike]

Monosomy X is the most common single chromosomal abnormality seen in aborted fetuses

I should have added the word single..that lead to the confusion i guess..thanx sabio..
