【Objective】 To investigate the cardiovascular,renal and thyroid abnormality for Turner syndrome,so as to provide suggestion for monitoring the patients with Turner syndrome after diagnosis. 【Methods】 25 patients were recruited from the outpatient at Children's hospital of Chongqing medical university.Cardiovascular system(24 cases),kidneys(25 cases) and thyroid(24 cases) were scanned by color doppler ultrasound. 【Results】 Of 24 individuals,1(4.17%,1/24) girl showed aortic coarctation; A total of 3 (12%,3/25) patients had renal abnormalities in 25 cases with renal scan; Enlargement of thyroid appeared in 7 girls (29.17%,7/24). 【Conclusions】 The abnormality of cardiovascular system,kidney and thyroid is common in Turner syndrome girls.The evaluation of cardiovascular system,kidneys and thyroid screening would be mandatory supervision post-diagnosis.
