The common growth of Vietnamese children in a lower average height must be in a physiological height velocity. The cause of growth delay in our patient was Turner syndrome.

There were confirmed cell lines with monosomy of chromosome X and isodicentric chromosome Y. Gonadectomy is indicated because of the risk of gonadoblastoma.
