We present the clinical case of a 47-year-old female patient with Turner syndrome, bicuspid aortic valve, and previous history of surgery of aortic coarctation in the childhood. During a routine study, ascending aorta dissection associated with severe aortic insufficiency secondary to valve prolapse and aortic recoarctation were found. Turner syndrome is associated with potentially serious cardiovascular complications. Clinical and imaging follow- up are essential to prevent them.
