Abstract
Background: Turner syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality, due to a total or partial loss of 1 of the X chromosomes and is mostly characterized clinically by short stature and primary ovarian insufficiency. Spontaneous pregnancies are rare (5%) and of relatively high risk. This is 1 of few reported cases of spontaneous conception and favorable prognosis in a patient with Turner syndrome and a 45,X/47,XXX karyotype. Case: A 21-year-old woman with Turner mosaicism (45,X/47,XXX) who had a full-term, uncomplicated pregnancy after spontaneous conception, gave birth to a healthy female (46,XX) infant. Summary and Conclusion: Spontaneous pregnancies in women with Turner syndrome are a rarity. Fertility preservation methods are being discussed. Due to the high reported incidence of neonatal, obstetric, maternal, and especially cardiovascular complications in those pregnancies, close monitoring is essential. © 2018 North American Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecolog
