[Aortic dilation and dissection in a patient with Turner syndrome].
The ascending aortic dilatation and its dissection is a not very frequent finding in patients with Turner syndrome. The high incidency of structural anomalies in the aortic wall and the severity of its complications, makes it necessary to watch these patients very closely. We present an asymptomatic patient, affected with Turner syndrome, ascending aortic dilatation and aortic wall dissection.
