Abstract:
Congenital defects of the aortic valve and thoracic aorta are well recognised in patients with Turner's syndrome. Anomalous pulmonary venous connections that were previously considered rare in patients with Turner's syndrome have been detected in up to one in ten patients with the advent of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. We describe an instance of partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage in a patient with Turner's syndrome, discuss the clinical indicators of these anomalies, and briefly mention the management options in such patients.

Overview of Systemic Veins
The coronary sinus, the heart's principal vein, resides in the coronary sulcus on the heart's posterior aspect. This broad venous channel receives nearly all venous blood from the myocardium, the heart muscle. It is fed by three primary veins: the great cardiac vein, the middle...
Veins of Thorax
The azygos vein, positioned just right of the midline and anterior to the vertebral column, begins at the junction of the right ascending lumbar and subcostal veins, terminating in the superior vena cava. This vein drains blood from the right side of the thoracic wall, thoracic viscera, and posterior abdominal wall.

Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
