Bonnevie-Ullrich Syndrome treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Bonnevie-Ullrich syndrome is a historical term used to describe a set of features that today are linked to Turner syndrome, especially swelling of the hands and feet and neck folds in young girls.

Described features: fluid buildup in the limbs, lateral neck folds, short stature and, in some cases, developmental differences.

Context: these characteristics are now usually grouped within broader genetic conditions, so the name is used less often.

Which specialist evaluates it? the endocrinologist and the pediatrician are the ones who study growth and hormonal development in these cases. If you notice these features in a girl, it is worth discussing with a professional who can guide the workup individually.
