Main Article Content
Abstract
Turner syndrome is a genetic abnormality due to the partial or complete missing of an X chromosome. Almost all cases are always detected at prepubertal to pubertal stages. An early diagnosis in neonatal period is not common. The author reports a newborn with small for gestational age who has been diagnosed as having Turner syndrome at Phimai Hospital and has been confirmed by chromosome study.
