Turner syndrome

Congenital ovarian hypoplasia was first described by Turner in 7 patients in 1938. Its clinical features are short, cervical webbed, and infantile female genitalia. Later, this type of patient is also known as Turner syndrome. Its gonads are strip-shaped and lack an X on the chromosome. Such patients have previously been referred to as congenital hypogonadism. It was later found that there was no Y chromosome and the gonads developed into ovaries, so it was also called congenital ovarian hypoplasia. It is still mostly called Turner syndrome. Is one of the most common sexual dysplasia.
