title: Cryopreservation of a mother's oocytes for possible future use by her daughter with Turner syndrome: case report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a new fertility alternative for women with Turner syndrome, who are rendered infertile, by having their mothers freeze their own oocytes for the purpose of donating to their daughters when they are adults.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Academic teaching hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 33-year-old healthy mother of three children; and her second child, a 6-year-old daughter recently diagnosed with Turner syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  Mother-to-daughter oocyte donation combined with oocyte vitrification.
  
  
  METHODS
  Number of cryopreserved oocytes.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After three cycles of ovarian stimulation, 30 oocytes were cryopreserved for the daughter's possible future use.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The treatment option presented here opens the door for the banking of a mother's oocytes as a possible donation to a young daughter with a medical condition that leads to infertility, for her possible future use.
