“…TS can be classified according to the form of X chromosome deletion as follows: 50% of deletions of the X chromosome are of the classic form of TS (45,X), the mosaic form (45,X/46,XX) accounts for 15-25%, and the rest of TS cases have structural abnormalities in the X chromosome [ 2 ]. Most TS patients are infertile due to primary amenorrhea and premature ovarian syndrome [ 3 ]. However, on rare occasions, some patients with mosaic TS preserve a few follicles and can procreate [ 1 , 4 ].…”

Turner syndrome (TS) is an abnormality of the X chromosome affecting females. This genetic defect causes infertility in most cases, but less commonly in patients with the mosaic form of Turner syndrome. In the rare event of a pregnancy, it usually leads to maternal and fetal complications, including miscarriage. In this study, we report a case of mosaic Turner syndrome (45,X/46,XX) in a 34-year-old female who presented to our outpatient clinic with a two-year history of secondary infertility following nine previous spontaneous pregnancies (SP). Her obstetric history showed two successful healthy pregnancies, seven first-trimester miscarriages, one intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD), and one infant death at six months of age. Cases of pregnancy in mosaic Turner syndrome patients are limited and have poor pregnancy outcomes; here, we aim for our case to contribute to the improvement of pregnancy outcomes in such patients.

“…There is limited data on optimal care of patients with mosaic Turner as they may have heterogeneous presentations during pregnancy. 1) 2) Pre-pregnancy counseling is important as well as regular follow-up in the Cardio-Obstetrics clinic during and after pregnancy to monitor for possible aortic pathology and other cardiovascular abnormalities. Tomographic imaging should be considered to supplement echocardiographic assessment.…”

Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic anomaly that is characterized by the absence of an X chromosome, either completely or partially. Primary amenorrhea, short stature, webbed neck, cubitus valgus, and a little intellectual disability are some of the characteristics. Infertility is also one of the most common clinical symptoms of TS-affected females. With the advent of assisted reproductive technology (ART), chances of childbearing possibilities for TS females have risen. Infertility issues in females with TS are challenging, but they can be managed with proper counseling and ART by artificial implantation, oocyte donation, and others. This case report aims to present the case of a 27-year-old female who had not attained her menarche and wanted to conceive. She was diagnosed with TS on the basis of clinical and laboratory investigations. The patient was, thereafter, treated for infertility by oocyte donation and conceived successfully.
