title: [Oocyte donation in Turner syndrome].
abstract: Turner syndrome represents about 10% of the indications of oocyte donation. Pregnancy rates are as satisfactory as for other indications when endometrial preparation is sufficient. Unfortunately patients with Turner syndrome present somatic abnormalities inducing obstetrical complications and even an elevated mortality rate, in particular by aortic dissection. So, it is absolutely necessary to define with extreme precision the elements of medical check up previous to oocyte donation as well as the forms of medical care during pregnancy which would protect the patients from severe complications.
