  • Title: [Aneurism of the subclavian artery associated with Turner's syndrome].
    Author: Lacombe M, Esteva B, Tillous-Borde I, Lesèche G.
    Journal: Arch Pediatr; 2004 Apr; 11(4):344-6. PubMed ID: 15051094.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Arterial aneurysms associated with Turner's syndrome are rare. CASE REPORT: We report a case of aneurysm of the left subclavian artery in a 16-year-old girl with Turner's syndrome. This patient was operated on: resection of the aneurysm, suture of the aortic arch and reimplantation of the subclavian artery in the left common carotid were performed. At 3-year follow-up, the evolution is favourable. COMMENTS: Cardiovascular anomalies are observed in 50% of subjects with Turner's syndrome. This justifies complementary cardiac investigations in these patients. Congenital malformations (bicuspid aortic valve, aortic coarctation, intracardiac communications, valvular lesions) or acquired anomalies (arterial hypertension, aortic dissection) are frequent. Only one similar case of subclavian artery aneurysm has been reported until now. The risk of rupture justifies the surgical treatment.
