Resumen
Objetivos: Reportar un caso de un paciente con Síndrome de Turner (ST) que experimenta disforia de género (DG), que se refiere al malestar psicológico (que dura al menos seis meses) que puede resultar de una incongruencia entre el género dado y el experimentado. Detalles del caso: A los dieciséis años, la paciente se dio cuenta de que quería pertenecer al sexo opuesto, deseando eliminar los caracteres sexuales secundarios femeninos. El paciente desarrolló una fugaz consideración del suicidio y se autolesionó de forma no suicida. Sus síntomas anímicos empeoraron a los diecinueve años y se aisló socialmente más a medida que su rendimiento académico declinaba. A los 21 años no presentó DG y ya no quería hacer la transición de género. Consideraciones finales: Hasta donde sabemos, este es el primer informe de EG en un paciente con este síndrome. Se alinea con la comprensión de que la identidad de género no es sólo un proceso social sino también una construcción individual y única. Este informe de caso destaca la importancia de tener precaución en los procedimientos de transición, ya que los pacientes pueden necesitar tiempo para construir su identidad de género.
