Aku punya temen yang anaknya mengalami Turner Syndrom dan baru ketahuan umur 9 tahun. Awalnya mereka curiga, kenapa tinggi badannya tidak seperti usia sebayanya dan si anak mengalami perubahan tingkah laku yaitu emosi yang sangat labil. Karena curiga dengan keadaan si anak, orang tuanya membawa si anak untuk konsultasi dengan dr. Aman Pulungan di RS Cinere dan melalui beberapa pemeriksaan hormon ternyata si anak mengalami Turner Syndrom untungnya gak terlalu parah, sistem organ lainnya normal, hanya pertumbuhan tulangnya lebih muda dari umur sebenarnya dan harus melakukan treatment hormon dengan penyuntikan SAIZEN setiap harinya. Sejak dilakukan terapi hormon sejak 2 tahun lalu, menurut temanku perkembangan anaknya lumayan baik dan tinggi badannya sudah bertambah 5 cm. Memang untuk tumbuh menjadi wanita normal tidak akan bisa (tidak bisa menstruasi) tetapi setidaknya pertumbuhan fisik si anak bisa mendekati sebagaimana wanita normal. Mungkin itu sharing dari saya, semoha membantu.

Halo mbak, Ya gitulah Turner Syndrome itu. Tp tidak semua yg menderita Turner Syndrome punya gejala seperti itu, karena kadar Syndromenya benar2 tergantung masing2 individu. Malahan banyak yg terdeteksinya setelah puber, maksudnya setelah sudah besar kok gak mens2. Tp biasanya gejala yg paling umum dari TS ini adalah anak yg gagal tumbuh. Terutama Tinggi Badannya (patokannya bukan Berat Badan loh, walaupun sebetulnya ya saling berhubungan), yg kurang dibanding anak seusianya. Banyak anak TS yg lahir normal, dan mulai keliatan tertinggal sejak dia berumur 1-2 th. (patokan pendeknya dari kurva loh ya, bukan sekedar liat lebih pendek dari teman sepermainannya). Dari info yg saya baca, hormone therapy bisa dimulai dari umur 5-6 th untuk mengejar ketinggalan pertumbuhan dari teman2 seumurnya. Segitu ya infonya.. moga2 menjelaskan. Ada juga nggak ya anak moms and dads yg anaknya melakukan hormone therapy???.... Thanks, Rury intan dima <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: What is Turner's Syndrome? http://www.turnersyndrome.ca/got_quest.html Turner's Syndrome is a condition that affects about one in every 2,500 females. It was first described in 1938 by Dr. Henry Turner who observed a set of common physical features in some of his patients. However, it was not until 1960 that a chromosomal abnormality was found. Unlike females without Turner's Syndrome who have two X chromosomes, those with Turner's Syndrome are missing or have a damaged X chromosome. They are typically short, achieving an average adult height of only 4'7" and can have a variety of associated physical features and medical problems. Because they do not have proper ovarian development, they may fail to develop secondary sexual characteristics during adolescence and may be infertile as adults. New advances in medical technology with hormonal therapy and in vitro fertilization are serving to alleviate many of the problems associated with this condition. Intellectually, girls with Turner's Syndrome are not at risk for mental retardation, but they may have learning problems, especially in arithmetic. Many also have greater difficulty on tasks requiring spatial skills, like map reading, puzzles, visual organization. Although they are not at increased risk for psychological problems, many do have decreased self-esteem and problems with body image. Children with Turner's Syndrome may also be hyperactive. Identifying Features of the Condition: a.. Short stature (mean height of 4'7") b.. Lack of secondary sexual characteristics and infertility c.. Medical problems such as ear, eye, heart, kidney or thyroid difficulties, sugar diabetes, high blood pressure and keloid healing d.. Secondary features such as low set ears, low hairline, webbed neck, pigmented moles, bending out of the elbows, and puffy hands and feet. People with TS are all different. Some may experience many of the symptoms, while others only a few. With appropriate medical treatment and support, a person with TS can lead a normal, healthy and productive life. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neny" To: Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2005 8:50 AM Subject: Re: [balita-anda] Turner Syndrom > Mbak Rury...atau moms n dads laennya.... > Kalau boleh nanya, Turner Syndrome itu apa sieh? > Thx atas infonya... > AYO GALANG SOLIDARITAS UNTUK MEMBANTU KORBAN MUSIBAH DI ACEH & DAN SUMATERA UTARA !!! ================ Kirim bunga, http://www.indokado.com Info balita: http://www.balita-anda.com Stop berlangganan/unsubscribe dari milis ini, e-mail ke: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peraturan milis, email ke: [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
