A useful radiologic sign for the diagnosis of Turner's syndrome.
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.
