[Pregnancy in a patient with Turner syndrome].
Fertility in patients with a diagnosis of Turner's syndrome confirmed by karyotype examination is a very rare phenomenon. Only in 2% of all cases the pregnancy is a result of a spontaneous ovulation and intrauterine fertilization. Due to high proportion of complications occurring in pregnancy, in labour and in puerperium, only minority of patients can expect delivering a healthy infant. Literature data indicate that 40% of patients with Turner's syndrome give birth to a healthy child. Other pregnancies are terminated either by delivering a child with congenital defect or by a spontaneous abortion. We report a case of a 26-year-old patient with Turner's syndrome (46XX/45XO) who menstruated regularly after hormonal replacement therapy. She had regular menstrual bleeding through period of two years, after withdrawal of hormones administration. In march diagnosis of pregnancy was made, as a result of a spontaneous ovulation. The healthy, full-term fetus was born in 40th week of pregnancy.
