Aortic dilation, dissection, and rupture in patients with Turner syndrome.
We report two patients with Turner syndrome who had aortic dissection and rupture, one with prior repair of coarctation. We also note the high incidence (8.8%) of unrecognized aortic root dilation in a group of 57 patients with Turner syndrome whom we prospectively evaluated by echocardiography. Our analysis and review of previously reported cases suggests that multiple risk factors may exist f...
متن کاملSpectrum of aortic valve abnormalities associated with aortic dilation across age groups in Turner syndrome.
BACKGROUND Congenital aortic valve fusion is associated with aortic dilation, aneurysm, and rupture in girls and women with Turner syndrome. Our objective was to characterize aortic valve structure in subjects with Turner syndrome and to determine the prevalence of aortic dilation and valve dysfunction associated with different types of aortic valves. METHODS AND RESULTS The aortic valve and ...

Aortic dissection, a devastating and often fatal condition, occurs more frequently in women with Turner syndrome than in the general population (0.8% v 0.00001%), particularly...
متن کاملPrediction of aortic dilation in Turner syndrome - enhancing the use of serial cardiovascular magnetic resonance
BACKGROUND Identification of the subset females with Turner syndrome who face especially high risk of aortic dissection is difficult, and more optimal risk assessment is pivotal in order to improve outcomes. This study aimed to provide comprehensive, dynamic mathematical models of aortic disease in Turner syndrome by use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). METHODS A prospective framew...
متن کاملFurther Delineation of Aortic Dilation, Dissection, and Rupture in Patients With Turner Syndrome
Objective. Although cardiovascular malformations (CVMs) are well-recognized congenital anomalies in Turner syndrome, aortic dilation and dissection are less common and less familiar. Most of the relevant literature is limited to single cases reports or small series. We sought to increase the information available about the frequency and characteristics of aortic dilation in patients with Turner...
