A 28-year-old female presented with occasional swelling of knees and prolonged bleeding after trauma. She also complained of gum bleeding in few occasions. She also gave history of primary amenorrhoea and failure of development of secondary sexual character. There was negative family history of bleeding tendency in both maternal and paternal family. Her investigation profile showed prolonged Partial Thromboplastin Time and reduced factor VIII activity (2.5%). Karyotyping showed (45 XO) Turner syndrome.
