Abstract

Anthropometric measurements were made on 11 Japanese girls with Ullrich-Turner syndrome (UTS) from 8 months to 14 years. Height, lower limb length, and upper limb length of the UTS patients was less than that of normal control girls. Conversely, chest circumference, transverse chest diameter, and chest depth of UTS girls was well developed and equal to that of the control girls. Measurement results of head (head circumference, head length, and head breadth) and face (bi-zygomatic breadth, internal bi-ocular breadth and morphological face height) of the UTS patients were similar to those of normal girls. Bi-acromial breadth and bi-iliac diameter in the UTS were normal.
