Neonatal arrhythmias in Turner syndrome: a case report and review of the literature.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While left-sided congenital heart defects have been well described in females with Turner syndrome (45, X), the literature is scarce regarding arrhythmias in this patient population.

Case summary

A full-term neonate referred to cardiology was found to have a non-apex forming left ventricle and partial anomalous pulmonary venous return. During the echocardiogram, she developed atrial flutter, followed by orthodromic reentrant supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). She was started on propranolol and eventually switched to sotalol due to breakthrough SVT. A genetics evaluation revealed Turner syndrome with complete monosomy X (45, X).
