A Useful Radiologic Sign for the Diagnosis of Turner's Syndrome

Barry B. Bercu M.D.1, Sandra S. Kramer M.D.1, and Hans Henning Bode M.D.1

A new X-ray sign of gonadal dysgenesis is described. In this series nine out of ten patients with Turner's syndrome have a coarse, reticular pattern of the carpal bones. A comparison with other previously described roentgenographic characteristics on hand and wrist films of these children leads to the conclusion that the new sign is more reliable and specific.
