Abstract: Turner’s syndrome (TS) is the most common sex chromosome abnormality in
females and characterized with short stature and ovarian dysgenesis. Patients
with TS may also present many other physical diseases and mental disorders. In
this case report, we present a 49-year-old woman with TS, who also met criteria
for bipolar disorder, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and autoimmune hypothyroidism.
The patient was admitted to the mental health center for depressive symptoms in
1991 and was misdiagnosed as hypopituitarism, which was not corrected until
2005 when her karyotype of 45, X/46, X, i(Xq) was identified. Due to the
misdiagnosis and other specific reasons, the patient missed the optimal time
for hormone replacement therapy.
Keywords: Turner’s
syndrome, bipolar disorder, karyotype, comorbidity
