[Osteoporosis in Turner's syndrome].
Axial and appendicular osteoporosis are common features of Turner's syndrome. The histology of this osteoporosis is similar in some respects to postmenopausal osteoporosis. Therefore, we treated a woman with Turner's syndrome who developed a vertebral wedge fracture, despite estrogen substitution since adolescence, with bone stimulating drugs. Absence of a beneficial effect on bone biological indices or bone mineral density, could be explained by other pathogenetic factors like a direct result of the chromosomal abnormality or other hormonal deficiencies.
