Association of coarctation of aorta with Turner syndrome: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Monosomy 45,X is commonly associated with congenital heart defects, particularly coarctation of the aorta (CoA). In this case, the patient developed respiratory distress due to hemodynamic instability from a large bidirectional patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) shunt and systemic hypoperfusion secondary to CoA, which complicated diagnosis and management.

Case presentation

We report a 34-week premature female neonate weighing 1.94 kg, delivered via lower segment cesarean section (LSCS) due to oligohydramnios and intrauterine growth restriction. She exhibited characteristic features of Turner syndrome, including a webbed neck, low-set ears, widely spaced nipples, and lymphedema of the hands and feet. Karyotyping confirmed a 45,X monosomy. Echocardiography revealed a bi
