Abstract
Graves' disease in a girl with Turner's syndrome (karyotype 46,Xdel(Xp)) is described. Hyperthyroidism led to a pronounced acceleration of height velocity. During treatment with methimazole and L-thyroxine, height velocity normalized. The patient also developed spontaneous puberty with a clear-cut pubertal growth spurt. Final height, however, did not appear to be influenced either by Graves' disease or by spontaneous puberty.Entities:
