Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by loss or structural disorders of X chromosome. A significant number of cases result with abortion. Clinical symptoms are not always apparent in the newborn period. Therefore it could be diagnosed in later years of life. Turner syndrome should be considered in patients with lymphedema on hands and feets, low hairline, short and webbed neck. Cardiovascular, genitourinary, endocrine system disorders could be accompanied. Here we present an antenatally diagnosed Turner syndrome with bilateral renal agenesis, pulmonary hypoplasia and aortic stenosis.
