“…The rate of miscarriages in our study is lower than the rate of 10-12% described in the literature [28,29]. This could be a result of the relatively late time in pregnancy at which women initially contacted the TIS, as most spontaneous abortions occur during the first 3 months of pregnancy.…”

Women with Turner's syndrome should be carefully followed throughout life. Growth hormone therapy should be started at age 2-5 years. Hormone replacement therapy for the development of normal female sexual characteristics should be started at age 12-15 years and continued for the long term to prevent coronary artery disease and osteoporosis. Most women with Turner's syndrome have ovarian dysgenesis; therefore, they are usually infertile, and in very rare cases have spontaneous menses followed by early menopause. Only 2% of the women have natural pregnancies, with high rates of miscarriages, stillbirths and malformed babies. Their pregnancy rate in oocyte donation programmes is 24-47%, but even these pregnancies have a high rate of miscarriage, probably due to uterine factors. A possible future prospect is cryopreservation of ovarian tissue containing immature follicles before the onset of early menopause, but methods of replantation and in-vitro maturation still need to be developed. Should these autologous oocytes indeed be used in the future, affected women would need to undergo genetic counselling before conception, followed by prenatal assessment.

Advances in reproductive medicine using oocyte donation have made it possible for women with Turner syndrome (TS) to achieve successful pregnancies. These pregnancies carry substantial fetal and maternal risks, with hypertensive disorders or pregnancy and fetal growth restriction common, and an increased risk of aortic dissection, sometimes fatal, for the woman. Careful prepregnancy assessment and fetal and maternal vigilance during pregnancy is a necessary prerequisite for a successful outcome. We present a case of a woman with Turner syndrome achieving a successful pregnancy from donor oocyte and review the relevant literature.
