IntroductionCardiovascular complications are the main cause of increased mortality in Turner Syndrome (TS). We have previously described a high prevalence of occult aortic dysmorphology in women with TS. The aim of this study was to introduce a classification system for the variety of appearances seen by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Method98 women (median age 29.0, range 18.1-64.2 years) underwent MRI scanning of the aorta.
