Turner syndrome (TS) is a chromosomal abnormality, due to a total or partial loss of one of the X chromosomes and is mostly characterized clinically by short stature and primary ovarian insufficiency. Spontaneous pregnancies in TS are rare (5%) and of relatively high risk, due to cardiovascular complications. Therefore, close medical monitoring is required. We report a case of a 21-year old woman with TS that had a full term uncomplicated pregnancy after spontaneous conception, giving birth to a healthy female (46XX) infant. The factors leading to this favorable outcome are discussed.
