Implication

May warrant syndrome-specific aortic thresholds in Turner syndrome; leaves open whether Marfan criteria apply.

Structured PICO

Population

48-year-old female patient with Turner syndrome who developed spontaneous acute aortic dissection (Stanford type A)

Intervention

Surgical management under deep hypothermia (18°C) and circulatory arrest with retrograde cerebroplegia

Outcome

Postoperative course and discharge

Marfan anatomic criteria may fail to predict aortic dissection risk in Turner syndrome, highlighting the need for specific adjusted risk thresholds for this population.
