چکیده

Multiple thoracic vascular anomalies have been described in the setting of Turner syndrome. Careful evaluation of both venous and arterial anatomy in the chest is prudent when evaluating these cases.

We also hope to reinforce the importance of evaluating extra-cardiac structures to uncover the additional incidental but significant findings.
