Abstract: In the last 35 years we noticed 91 cases of Turner's syndrome. To the obligatory symptoms of the syndrome belong primary amenorrhoea, sexual infantilism, elevated values only of FSH and very reduced levels of estrogens, chromosomal aberrations in karyotype, most often 45, X and presence of streak gonads. The facultative symptoms of the syndrome belong short stature (94.5% of patients), presence of congenital defects (short webbed neck in 44.4%) and sterility (98.9%). Therapy above 15 years excepting to cause the menstrual cycles have to development the second sexual symptoms by giving enough large doses of oestrogens and gestagens. The best effects we obtain nearly in 100% in the development of breasts, in slowly growth of sexual hair and in the growth of the stature which does not cross the height of 150 cm and only in six patients attained in average 152.5 cm.
