Question

A mother gets her daughter with short stature, webbing of neck etc. USG will show

• A. Hepatomegaly with altered echotexture
• B. Single kidney
• C. Echo showing tricuspid stenosis
• D. Streak ovaries with small uterus

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

A clinical scenario is described involving a mother bringing her daughter who has short stature and webbing of the neck. These features are suggestive of Turner syndrome, a genetic condition that affects females, characterized by the absence of all or part of one X chromosome. One of the hallmark signs of Turner syndrome visible on ultrasonography (USG) is related to the reproductive organs.

This condition often results in underdeveloped sexual characteristics due to streak ovaries and a small uterus. Therefore, among the options provided, the characteristic finding that an ultrasound (USG) will show in a patient with the described clinical presentation is:

Streak ovaries with small uterus

Thus, option:

• Streak ovaries with small uterus

is the correct answer, consistent with Turner syndrome's typical ultrasound findings. This condition leads to the underdevelopment of the ovaries (resulting in streak ovaries) and hypoplasia or underdevelopment of the uterus.
