OTOLOGICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF TURNER SYNDROME: CLINICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL FINDINGS.
2016
Introduction. Turner syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality where all or a
part of one of the X chromosomes is absent or it has other abnormalities.
Besides characteristic abnormalities of short stature and infertility, women
with Turner syndrome have increased risks for tumors of the central nervous
system, especially meningioma and an otologic disease. Meningioma involving
the middle ear is extremely rare, and this condition has never been published
in association with Turner syndrome. Case Report. We present an otologic
manifestation associated with other abnormalities in a patient with Turner
syndrome and discuss diagnosis and possible treatment options. Conclusion.
Multidisciplinary team approach is essential in these patients in order to
evaluate their vulnerability and define therapeutic priorities.
