APAmelia L. Podolny CKCatherine L. Kennedy MAMeredith E. Adams

Key Points

This case study aims to highlight the relationship between Turner syndrome, chronic otitis media, and skull base defects.
Detailed clinical assessment of a patient with Turner syndrome featuring multiple CSF leaks.
Investigation of underlying conditions such as chronic otitis media and intracranial hypertension.
Identification of multiple CSF leaks associated with skull base defects.
Recognition of the need for careful monitoring of ear abnormalities and intracranial pressure in Turner syndrome.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Patients with Turner syndrome often have ear abnormalities which predispose them to chronic otitis media. They are also predisposed to develop intracranial hypertension. Both of these conditions can contribute to the development of skull base defects, which should be considered in patients with Turner syndrome presenting with them.
