Delayed Puberty

  • Snapshot
    • A 15-year-old girl presents to her primary care physician due to lack of breast development, which is causing her emotional distress. She denies any headache, vision changes, or focal motor or sensory deficits. Physical examination is notable for a short stature and shield chest. Bone age appears to be that of a 12-year-old girl. Serum testing is remarkable for an elevated FSH and LH with decreased serum estradiol and karyotyping demonstrates 45,XO. (Turner syndrome)
  • Complications

    • Increased risk of fracture secondary to decreased bone mineral density
