Though they typically have normal vulvas, [1] the person has underdeveloped gonads, fibrous tissue termed "streak gonads", and if left untreated, will not experience puberty.

Turner syndrome was first described independently by Otto Ulrich in 1930 and Henry Turner in 1938. [ 29 ] 46,XX pure gonadal dysgenesis was first reported in 1960. [ 29 ] 46,XY pure gonadal dysgenesis, also known as Swyer syndrome, was first described by Gim Swyer in 1955.
Meanwhile, XY gonadal dysgenesis is known as PGD, 46,XY or Swyer syndrome. Patients with PGD have a normal chromosomal constellation but may have localized genetic alterations. XX gonadal dysgenesis is related to Swyer syndrome, since both conditions have the same phenotype and clinical issues; however in Swyer syndrome the karyotype is 46,XY ...
Adenovirus can cause severe necrotizing pneumonia in which all or part of a lung has increased translucency radiographically, which is called Swyer-James Syndrome. [21] Severe adenovirus pneumonia also may result in bronchiolitis obliterans , a subacute inflammatory process in which the small airways are replaced by scar tissue , resulting in a ...
