Abstract

Two cases of delayed unilateral lymphedema are reported in children presenting with Turner's syndrome. On this occasion, the frequency of lymphedema in Turner's syndrome and the more general problem of the lymphatic changes in this syndrome are discussed. The importance of isotopic lymphography is emphasized, because of its simplicity, its harmlessness and the good quality of the morphological and cinetic data obtained.
