Normal US appearance of ovaries and uterus in four patients with Turner's syndrome and 45,X karyotype
Abstract
Pelvic ultrasonographic (US) studies of four patients (ages 11-19 years) with Turner s syndrome, 45,X karyotype, and normal ovarian function were reviewed. All four had persistent menses, spontaneous breast development, and normal follicular stimulant hormone (FSH) serum concentrations. The US studies depicted normal postpubertal uterus and normal-sized ovaries with follicles. In three patients, ovaries were seen bilaterally, while in one only one gonad was identified. Radiologists should be aware that patients with Turner s syndrome, even with a single X chromosome, may occasionally have normal genital development.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
