Özet
Turner syndrome (45, X0) is a chromosomal abnormality characterized by short stature, ovarian failure, streak gonad, hypertension, autoimmune thyroid disease, heart and renal anomalies. Here we report a case of Turner syndrome associated with crossed renal ectopia with fusion anomaly. A 8 year-old girl who had growth retardation and frequent urinary tract infection was investigated by Tc-99m DMSA scintigraphy. DMSA scan imaging showed crossed renal ectopia with fusion anomaly. The current case showed us once again that static renal Tc-99m DMSA scintigraphy imaging is an important diagnostic tool. It can not only determine renal cortical function but also can determine the congenital anomalies of the kidney including fusion anomalies. Copyright © 2013 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
