چکیده
Turner syndrome (TS) is associated with a characteristic neurocognitive profile which includes average to low full scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) with a significant discrepancy between verbal IQ (VIQ) and performance IQ (PIQ) [1].They have average verbal skills but weaker non verbal skills like visuospatial, perceptual, processing speed and executive functioning leading to problems in academics, especially mathematics [2]. Mental retardation associated with a ring chromosome karyotype is rare (2-4%).
