| Abstract: | An adult female with Turner syndrome presented with severe lymphedema and chylous ascites. In addition, the patient was found to have a right-sided aortic arch and a left-sided inferior vena cava. Although lymphedema is common in infants with Turner syndrome is previously unreported. In this patient, a peritoneo-venous shunt appeared to be beneficial. |
