Abstract

Background: 1 in every 2500 females is born with Turner syndrome (TS) due to chromosomal abnormalities of the X chromosome. A common symptom of this syndrome is infertility due to ovarian dysgenesis. Methodology: This case report is regarding a spontaneous pregnancy in a 25-year-old female, Primi, with mosaic Turner syndrome. At 38weeks 2days, patient came with spontaneous labour pains with a past medical history significant for mosaic Turner syndrome diagnosed in her teens after a diagnostic evaluation for short stature. However, she reported regular menstrual cycles beginning at age 14. Result: She delivered a healthy female weighing 2760 g. While this patient could conceive successfully without the aid of medical intervention, only 5.6% of Turner Syndrome patients conceive spontaneously. Conclusion: This case reveals the importance of discussing fertility-preserving measures and possible pregnancy comorbidities with Turner Syndrome patients and their families at the time of diagnosis.
