Abstract
We describe two Turner patients suffering from severe essential hyperh idrosis. Since both disorders are rare (1 in 5000 live female births f or Turner syndrome and approximately 1 in 1000 persons for essential h yperhidrosis), our finding of two patients with these disorders in a t otal of 150 essential hyperhidrosis patients may suggest that this ass ociation is more frequent in Turner syndrome than previously thought.
