Abstract
We present a case of a 34-year-old woman, diagnosed
with Turner syndrome at the age of 18 because of short
stature and irregular menstrual cycle. After the diagnosis had been established, she started with hormonal therapy for regulation of the menstrual cycle. When she
got married at the age of 32 she wanted to conceive, but
it was not successful and after one year she decided to
make in vitro fertilization with a donated egg. It was
successful in the first attempt. Her high-risk pregnancy
was followed up by her gynecologist and obstetrician
in atertiary level institution. The pregnancy was normal,
without complications. During the pregnancy examinations at the University Clinic for Cardiology in Skopje
were made and cardiovascular diseases were excluded.
In 39 week of gestation an elective Caesarean section
was made at the University Clinic for Gynecology and
Obstetrics in Skopje, R. N. Macedonia.
On 28th of February 2019 she delivered a healthy baby
boy with birth weight of 2950 gr and birth length of 48 cm,
with Apgar scores 8 and 9 at 1 and 5 min, respectively.
No severe complications occurred during the postpartum period.
By application of new assisted reproductive techniques
such as in vitro fertilization with a donated egg, women
with Turner syndrome and infertility can resolve their
problem and fulfill their wish to have a baby.
