Turner’s syndrome (TS) is one of the important chromosomal disorders with loss of one sex chromosome in females. The characteristic features include short stature, webbed neck and poorly developed secondary sexual characters. Here we report four cases of TS (one asymptomatic and three symptomatic) who were admitted at Coimbatore Medical College Hospital with general health complaints. Further diagnosis was followed and discussed. Karyotyping was performed, which confirmed the presence of TS with presentation of 45, XO karyotype.
