Abstract

Turner syndrome is a common cause of hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. It is caused by the loss of all or a part of the chromosome X. Various systemic pathologies and eye disorders can be seen with Turner syndrome. The common ophtalmologic pathologies are keratoconus, anterior segment dysgenesis, strabismus, ptosis, hypertelorism, epicanthus. In addition to these, retinal detachments, choroidal neovascularization and uveitis can be rarely seen. We have presented a 14 year old Turner syndrome patient with anterior uveitis because of its rarity.
