Abstract

Women with Turner syndrome (TS) are subfertile due to premature ovarian insufficiency. Most women require hormone replacement therapy for attaining menarche and assisted reproductive technology (ART) using donor oocytes, autologous oocytes or in-vitro fertilisation for conception. Irrespective of the karyotype, monosomy X (45, X) or mosaic pattern, women with TS hold a very high risk for pregnancy due to high mortality rate secondary to aortic dissection and severe pre-eclampsia. Such high-risk pregnancies mandate extensive prepregnancy counselling, the need for multidisciplinary teams, close surveillance and follow-up to attain a successful outcome. In this article, we report one such case of pregnancy in a woman with TS carrying a twin gestation following ART with donor oocyte.
