Unmasking Turner Syndrome via a Short Fourth Metacarpal in a Pediatric Wrist Injury
Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder associated with short stature, webbed neck, gonadal dysgenesis and congenital cardiac anomalies. Subtle skeletal findings may provide diagnostic clues. We report a 12-year-old girl in whom an incidental short fourth metacarpal identified after wrist trauma led to the diagnosis of Turner syndrome.
