Case report reveals progressive aortic root dilatation and dissection in Turner syndrome, indicating idiopathic dilatation poses risk without typical cardiovascular defects.

Key Points

To describe a case of progressive aortic root dilatation, chronic aortic regurgitation, and subsequent aortic dissection in an individual with XO Turner syndrome lacking common cardiovascular comorbidities.
Clinical evaluation and longitudinal monitoring over 12 years of a single female patient (N=1) diagnosed with XO Turner syndrome.
Assessment of cardiac anatomy and vascular complications, specifically noting the absence of hypertension, aortic coarctation, and bicuspid aortic valve.
The patient developed progressive aortic root dilatation over a 12-year period that resulted in chronic aortic regurgitation and ultimately aortic dissection.
Vascular pathology occurred despite the absence of classic predisposing cardiovascular risk factors, including aortic coarctation, bicuspid aortic valve, and systemic hypertension.
