Clinical and speech, hearing and language pathology manifestations on Turner Syndrome: bibliographical study

TEMA: síndrome genética e achados fonoaudiológicos. OBJETIVO: descrever as manifestações clínicas e fonoaudiológicas em indivíduos com a Síndrome de Turner CONCLUSÃO: foram levantados 23 artigos sobre a Síndrome de Turner dos quais 7 discorriam sobre a audição e suas alterações nesses indivíduos, 6 sobre linguagem receptiva e/ou expressiva e praxia, 5 sobre aspectos psicológicos e cognitivos além de 28 artigos referentes às manifestações clínicas em geral. Por meio do levantamento bibliográfico pode-se observar que as manifestações fonoaudiológicas na Síndrome de Turner são pouco estudadas e, dentro da fonoaudiologia as manifestações audiológicas como perda de audição e otites são as mais estudadas, ao contrário dos aspectos práxicos e de recepção/ expressão da linguagem.BACKGROUND: genetic syndrome and Speech, Hearing and Language Pathology findings.
