title: Left-sided partial anomalous pulmonary venous communication in a patient with Turner's syndrome.
abstract: Congenital defects of the aortic valve and thoracic aorta are well recognised in patients with Turner's syndrome. Anomalous pulmonary venous connections that were previously considered rare in patients with Turner's syndrome have been detected in up to one in ten patients with the advent of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. We describe an instance of partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage in a patient with Turner's syndrome, discuss the clinical indicators of these anomalies, and briefly mention the management options in such patients.
