Cervical aortic arch in a patient with Turner syndrome.
We report a case of a young girl with Turner syndrome presenting with a pulsatile left-sided supraclavicular swelling since birth, which proved to be the rare anomaly of a cervical aortic arch. Though elongation of the transverse aortic arch is well known in Turner syndrome, to the best of our knowledge, a cervical aortic arch has not been described in the literature.
