[The Ullrich-Turner syndrome].

The etiology of the Ullrich-Turner's syndrome is a chromosomal anomality, the karyotyp 45 XO being the most common one. This results in stunted growth, a number of deformities as pterygium colli or cubita valga, and primary amenorrhea due to gonadal dysgenesis. Treatment consists of anabolic steroids for improvement of growth and substitution of estrogens at a later age. Final height probably will rarely exceed 150 cm. Usually, patients are infertile.
