Overview

Physical examination may be suggestive of thyroid dysfunction, congenital heart defects, inflammatory bowel disease, characteristic skeletal deformities and body habitus/skin manifestations.

Physical Examination

Appearance of the Patient

Patient may show signs of poor growth velocity and malnutrition indicative of failure to thrive.
Patients may be hyperactive.
The presence of short stature, a webbed neck, pigmented nevi, puffiness of the hands and feet, a cubitus valgus deformity, genu valgum on physical examination are highly suggestive of Turner syndrome.

Vital Signs

High-grade / low-grade fever
Hypothermia / hyperthermia may be present
Tachycardia with regular pulse or irregularly irregular pulse - Hyperthyroidism
Bradycardia with regular pulse or irregularly irregular pulse - Hypothyroidism
Tachypnea - Secondary to Acute pulmonary edema from ischemic heart disease
Hypertension in the upper extremities with hypotension in the lower extremities, decreased post ductal oxygen saturation in the lower extremities, absent lower extremity pulses - Coarctation of aorta
Widened pulse pressure + water hammer pulse - Aortic Regurgitation secondary to aortic dissection

Skin

Lymphedema of hands and feet
Toe nail cellulitis
Vitiligo
Alopecia
Nail hypoplasia
Psoriasis - silver scaled erythrematous plaques present on extensor surfaces
Pigmented melanocytic nevi - avoid rubbing against clothes.
Hyperconvex nails
Oslers nodes, Jane way lesions - Infective Endocarditis

HEENT

Neck

Pterygium colli
Low posterior hair line
Loose skin on the nape of newborns

Ear

Weber test may be abnormal- Conductive hearing loss or sensorineural hearing loss
Rinne test may be positive - Conductive hearing loss or sensorineural hearing loss
External ear canal deformities may be noted.

Eye

Prominent epicanthal folds
Bilateral epicanthus
Strabismus
Ptosis
Cataract
Nystagmus
Roth spots - secondary to infective endocarditis

Neck

Pterygium colli
Low posterior hair line
Loose skin on the nape of newborns
Jugular venous distension - Rule out Eisenmengirsation secondary to congenital heart defects, pressure may be transmitted to the internal ugular vein.
Hepatojugular reflux - There is an increased risk of ischemic heart disease and cardiomyopathy secondary to this may cause Right sided heart failure.

Lungs

Pulmonary examination of patients with Turner syndrome is usually normal.
Fine/coarse crackles upon auscultation of the lung bases/apices unilaterally/bilaterally (rule out)

Heart

Patient has a wide shield shaped chest with inverted nipples.
S3 (rule out)
S4 (rule out)
Gallops (rule out)
A pansystolic murmur heard over the tricuspid area - Ventricular Septal defect
Early blowing diastolic murmur head over the left upper sternal border - Aortic regurgutation secondary to aortic dissection
Systolic ejection click followed by a crescendo decrescendo murmur (early P2 and delayed A2) - Early onset aortic stenosis secondary to a bicuspid aortic valve
Fever + Petechiae + Heart murmur - Infective Endocarditis

Abdomen

Look for signs of inflammatory bowel disease such as fistulas, skin tags and oral aphtous ulcers

Back

Kyphosis
Scoliosis

Genitourinary

Chronic estrogen deficiency may lead to signs of atrophic vaginitis
Rudimentary uterus
Palpable mass secondary to dysgerminoma or gonadoblastoma

Neuromuscular

Neuromuscular examination of patients with Turner syndrome is usually normal.

Extremities

Shortened limbs
Shortened 4th metacarpal
Cubitus valgus deformity
Madelung deformity
Cyanosis - Secondary to structural heart defects
Pitting edema of the upper/lower extremities - Hypothyroidism
Muscle atrophy
