10 Turner Syndrome Symptoms

Symptom #3: Excess Skin on the Neck
About 30% of those affected with Turner syndrome will have excess skin on the neck, otherwise commonly known as a webbed neck. Besides having these extra folds of skin on the neck, a low hairline at the back of the neck is also commonly seen.
In babies, this symptom looks like loose folds of extra skin, but as the child grows, the skin can stretch out and make it look like there is very little neck or no neck at all. Surgical treatments are possible to get rid of the excess skin on the neck.
