Περίληψη:
We present a case of a 36-year-old 45 XO Turner syndrome with bicuspid
aortic valve, dilatation of the ascending aorta and of the major
branches of the aortic arch and multiple cysts of thc aortic wall. This
was complicated by endarteritis of the base of thc aortic arch and
production of an intraluminal structure (intra-aortic debris). She also
presented reactive pleural effusion and involvement of the pulmonary
artery which was complicated by pulmonary embolism. Possible
aetiological mechanisms arc discussed.
