Hi doctors, was just wondering what is "webbing of the neck" in turner's syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Webbing of neck: The "webbing of the neck" is just used as a description of one of the physical appearance in Turner's syndrome. It is the appearance of a wider than normal extension of the neck at the based of the shoulder, making it look more like a triangle from behind. It doesn't have any consequences, it is only the appearance in this syndrome.
