She had prepubertal pattern genital development, no distribution of axilary and pubic hair, high arch palatum, low posterior hair line, low set ears and short neck. Laboratory examination showed high consentration of lutein and follicular stimulating hormon, and low consentration of estradiol, with the karyotyping (45,XO). We planed to give growth hormone but it wasn’t covered by insurance. Low ethinylestradiol started with gradually increament and after 6 month therapy, she had minimal pubic hair and breast development, 0,5 cm height increment and got grommet insertion to treat the hearing loss. Recognizing TS in many organ systems was important to make a proper management.
