Turner syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality in female subjects, affecting 1 in 2000 live births. The condition is associated with a generalized vasculopathy as well as congenital cardiac and other defects. We report aneurysmal dilation of medium caliber arteries involving the celiac axis and coronary vessels in two women with Turner syndrome.
